Actually, it is good that you have this frustration now, because it would happen sooner or later, and at least you know now there are issues connected with the fact that signed languages are not international.... I am glad to see that you have lived with a Deaf child - that helps me understand your background with deafness. I think it is wonderful that you want to use SignWriting, which is not a language as you know. It just writes languages that already exist. I would suggest downloading the SignWriter Shareware and learning to type signs yourself. Are you still in contact with the born-Deaf child you mention? Maybe he or she would enjoy learning SignWriting and writing and typing signs? I will send you a .GIF later today. But meanwhile, here is information on our web site about downloading shareware...perhaps you will also want the source code for SignWriter 4.3? The shareware includes a 3000 ASL sign dictionary, so could learn a lot on your own: SignWriting Software Developer's Forum https://www.SignWriting.org/soft000.html D Daniela Remião de Macedo Sign Dic, a bilingual dictionary program https://www.SignWriting.org/soft002.html Download SignWriter Shareware version 4.3 for MS-DOS https://www.SignWriting.org/sw128.html F Fingerspelling Keyboards SignWriter Computer Program https://www.SignWriting.org/fkey001.html S SignWriter Computer Program Package version 4.3 for MS-DOS https://www.SignWriting.org/sw124.html Sutton's Sign-Symbol-Sequence List of SignWriting Symbols https://www.SignWriting.org/sss001.html W Want to receive source code for SignWriter 4.3 for MS-DOS ? https://www.SignWriting.org/soft001.html |
