Yes...there are several suggestions. First, would you like our source code for SignWriter 4.3? If so, you can read about this on our web site: Open Source Code for SignWriter 4.3 https://www.SignWriting.org/soft001.html Write to me if you are interested...of course it will not solve all your problems...on the other hand it may be a little help perhaps, who knows?! I am thinking about your project and will write more later... I am really excited about the potential...
