I just got a chance to look at the above web page and I am really impressed. I will send this information to our programmer, who is developing the user interface for SignWriter 5.0. The information may be useful for hooking into the operating systems in other countries, to access the spoken languages of those countries. No matter what, we will have to develop the user interface in signed languages, because the above software does not include a signed language as one of its many languages...who knows? Maybe someday! And maybe we can supply them with the signs someday. Can you imagine Windows 95 written in signs? Sounds like a great idea! Meanwhile...has anyone taken a look at the "Menus in ASL and English" up on the web? I could use your feedback. Do the signs seem easy to read? https://www.SignWriting.org/soft005.html As you know, there are nine pages of all the menus posted. And we have many more countries than are listed there - those are just some samples... Thanks for your input!
