Hi Jonathan!
Thank you for this message. I wish you, and everyone, the best developing new SW projects.

I look forward to reading everyone's messages about those new developments. Then I can have the joy of telling everyone about the new projects!

I will write to you privately now about the SWSW app.

And here in the US we have a holiday weekend called “Memorial Day”. Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

Val ;-)

Before I've focused more on what I thought would be useful, or what I wanted to have myself for SignWriting.  But now I want to explore abit more on the emotional side of things.  It could be for people in the Deaf community, their family, friends, employers or any other group of people related to SignWriting.

>> I think the world is changing fast to video, and language transcription from the sign language videos and even if you could develop an app that does not actually do the transcription itself, but grabs SignWriting literature written in vertical columns and somehow connects it to videos - anything along the lines of getting videos and then the SignWriting that is related would be a blessing -

>> There are already many videos with SignWriting transcription from Brazil and then Amit just showed us Adam Frost’s video in ASL with transcription - and although that is highly technical work, it is the beginning towards an easier time relating videos with the signwritten equivalent
