I have found blanks as in blank squares where there is no entry, prompting me to go back and add that sign into the dictionary so that I have it available the next time. I once had a sentence where almost everything was blank. In the old "signtype" program if there were no entry, it would automatically go into fingerspelling the entry (if it were in ASL, the fingerspelling would be the English fingerspelling alphabet). Now that alphabet entry is no longer available unless you hit the letters as separate words. </div><div><br></div><div>We are running up against the limits of translation software, it can't translate what it doesn't have in the dictionary. </div><div><br></div><div>Charles Butler</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial,
