The List cannot distribute large <BR>>attachments to all the members of the List...it takes too much <BR>>memory...So I have now placed Aisha's attachment on our web site <BR>>temporarily, so that you all can
download it by clicking on this <BR>>link:<BR>><BR>>http://www.SignWriting.org/downloads/SignWriting4MobilePhones.zip<BR>><BR>>Please download it and read it and also read the important message <BR>>below...I bet it is interesting!!<BR>><BR>>And thank you, Aisha, for your hard work and dedication to creating <BR>>mobile phones with SignWriting!<BR>><BR>>Val ;-)<BR>><BR>><BR>>------------<BR>><BR>>Aisha Shamsuna Ahmed wrote:<BR>>from indo_aa1@lycos.com<BR>><BR>>Hi Valerie and Everyone on the SignWriting List,<BR>><BR>>Thanks Val for your email, it was really frustrating sending out<BR>>this email so many times.<BR>><BR>>With respect to the subject of the email,I have developed a<BR>>prototype of an interface for writing and reading messages in sign<BR>>writing for mobile phones. It is based
on ASL. I chose ASL just to<BR>>give an idea of how it would look if you could write messages using<BR>>sign writing with a mobile phone.<BR>><BR>>I developed it based on the Sign Puddle translate feature developed<BR>>by Steve Slevinski which is used for SignMail. That is, you type a<BR>>gloss text and preview the images. Please note that the aim of the<BR>>prototype is to show that any mobile phone can be equipped with an<BR>>additional sign messaging function, it is not depicting a mobile<BR>>phone specifically for signwriting<BR>><BR>><BR>>To clarify how to use the prototype, do the following:<BR>>Use the buttons underneath the Menu and Names text, and the arrow<BR>>buttons for navigating the menu. The Send, Clear and the number<BR>>buttons are only there to give the appearance of an actual mobile<BR>>phone.<BR>>In a subsequent
email, I have attached a png image describing the<BR>>above steps in more detail. (It is titled: User Manual for the<BR>>prototype)<BR>><BR>>I would really appreciate it if you could spend a few mins looking<BR>>at the prototype (SignWriting 4 mobile phones.zip, extract the file<BR>>and run the SignWriting 4 mobile phones.exe file) and afterwards<BR>>responding to the questions in the subsequent email. You could<BR>>send a reply to the questions to me (kcx4aas@nottingham.edu.my) as<BR>>soon as possible. Please don't hesitate to make any comments or any<BR>>suggestions. Please I do hope you can send a response because I<BR>>really need answers to the questionsto complete my research. It's<BR>>pretty urgent now.<BR>><BR>>Thanks a lot,<BR>>Kind Regards,<BR>>Aisha Shamsuna Ahmed<BR>>indo_aa1@lycos.com<BR>>The University of
Nottingham Malaysia Campus<BR>><BR>>PS<BR>>Valerie, please if these emails still don't get to the list, could<BR>>you forward them directly to at least 10 people who could respond <BR>>and mail<BR>>them back to me (kcx4aas@nottingham.edu.my). The prototype is over <BR>>400kb so I doubt if it will still get to the list. Thanks I really <BR>>appreciate this.<BR>><BR>><BR></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></div></html>
