"Chip" McGruder >Monterey, California ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hello Chip - I want to thank you for your email message awhile back about a new idea you had... I believe you said: "I'm thinking it might be fun to have a computer program which will read the SignWriting document received via email or imported into the computer and then have animated characters on the screen peform what's written!" Thank you for that message, Chip, and please forgive my delay in responding...of course that is a wonderful idea, and it is just a matter of time too....just like the translation programs are too... We need to ask programmers to consider using SignWriting...If we don't ask, they won't know we have a need. If you will think through who to ask, ask them, and then ask them to contact me and we can try to make it work ;-) Your idea about the .GIF files becoming animated is not that far-fetched, since .GIF files can be animated on the web, and there are some email software programs that accept video...so with special software I suppose we could send animated .GIFs to each other - ha! Have a great evening everyone! Val ;-) |
