So Jonathan and everyone: the SignTyp seems to be a research tool for sign linguists, while the SignStudio is for the general user, am I right? Then they should be different ...<BR><BR>Ingvild <BR><BR><BR> <BR>

You know, I am working right now on a part of my SignWriter project that ties in a little with the SignWriting to SignTyp. Except that I am going from hand characteristics to symbol, in SignWriter Studio it is called "Hand Search". I have it setup for all the hand basegroups but it isn't as detailed as SignTyp. I personally feel that it would benefit being a bit more complete as far handshape characteristics. But having full SignTyp would probably be too complicated for the user. The Idea of "Hand Search" is to set a filter for the caracteristics of the hand shape you are looking for and it shows a list of handshapes that match the filter, ready to input into a sign.<BR>> > <BR>> > Have you analyzed the handshapes yet to get their characteristics or is this a future project?<BR>> > <BR>> > Jonathan<BR>> > On 10/21/2010 12:22 AM, Valerie Sutton wrote:<BR>> >> SignWriting List<BR>> >> October 20, 2010<BR>> >> <BR>> >> Hello Charles, Rachel and everyone -<BR>> >> <BR>> >> This web page is now updated:<BR>> >> <BR>> >> SignWriting Linguistics Forum<BR>> >> <BR>> >> http://www.signwriting.org/forums/linguistics/<BR>> >> <BR>> >> <BR>> >> to include two links to the SignTyp project...a link to download the PDF of the poster, and also a link to a description of the SignTyp project - and of course your photo too!<BR>> >> <BR>> >> And the other documents and web links on this web page are popular and have played an important part in SignWriting history ...People download Joe Martin's comparison between the Stokoe system and SignWriting frequently (thank you, Joe, for your excellent comparison).
