><br>> Yes.. all of these issues, James and I had discussed before and there<br>> were three things holding us back...money, time and skill in ASL.<br>><br>> With your ASL and computer skills, that will really help!
<br>><br>> Plus, regarding the techniques of captioning, James does English<br>> captioning for others, and is skilled at doing two-language captions<br>> for the hearing world...I have seen some of his work with captioning
<br>> a media presentation in both English and Spanish captions on a CD,<br>> where the person clicked on a button and could switch to the other<br>> language easily...the captions changed from English to Spanish to
<br>> English with the push of a button...very smooth...and he programmed<br>> that with fancy software on the Mac called FinalCutPro, which we may<br>> possibly have to purchase to do a professional job...but that is
<br>> exactly why we are a good team...because we all come from different<br>> professions but can help make the project work...and then <a href="http://Harkle.com">Harkle.com</a><br>> can become the place on the web where we create a library of ASL
<br>> captioned media...so it will all connect...<br>><br>> Regarding the small size SignWriting...I know the 50% reduction of<br>> SignWriting symbols available right now is not perfect, but that can<br>> be fixed. I believe you showed me your new web page that was gorgeous
<br>> that you had used a vector program to fix the smaller symbols? Want<br>> to tell us about that? And show us how it looks on your web<br>> page?...what is the link and how did you do it?<br>><br>> Your technique might be applied to the ASL captioning...
