Hoi,<br>I had a look at a video on this software on Youtube. Their idea is that you send a message in a "secret" script so that nobody can easily understand what the message was. Given that SignWriting is a script and created specifically for sign languages, I fail to see how you can use this software easily. Their software is commercial but more relevant, the effort spend on it may not benefit people who actually write the signs directly.<br>
