January 31, 1999 Dear SW List Members: I am happy to announce that our new Special Feature for February 1st is now posted on our web site: SignWritingSite https://www.SignWriting.org It is the first article in our new forum: SignWriting Software Developer's Forum https://www.SignWriting.org/soft000.html The article is entitled: SIGN DIC a bilingual dictionary program between signed and spoken languages by Daniela Remião de Macedo https://www.SignWriting.org/soft002.html I think you will agree with me that Daniela's screen designs are adorable! The illustration of the dog, and the handshapes, and the book and other icons makes Sign Dic an appealing and charming program to work with. I know that children will really want to learn language when using Sign Dic, which is so important. Like a lot of SignWriting software, Sign Dic is not ready yet. This new article posted today is showing what is in the planning stages. Daniela, who lives in Porto Alegre, Brazil, is creating Sign Dic as a part of her studies at the University. But Daniela is a professional software designer by profession, so she is applying her expertise to this new field. We are fortunate! Daniela tells me that later, once the Brazilian Sign Language and Portuguese dictionary is running in Sign Dic, that other signed and spoken languages can use Sign Dic too. So here in the USA, I hope we can create ASL and English dictionaries in Sign Dic later. So...take a look at Sign Dic up on the web...I know you will enjoy it!! All the best - Valerie ':-) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Valerie Sutton at the DAC Deaf Action Committee for SW SignWriting https://www.SignWriting.org Center For Sutton Movement Writing an educational nonprofit organization Box 517, La Jolla, CA, 92038-0517, USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
