<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Hello,<BR>could we use this tool for SpeechWriting?<BR> <BR>André Lemyre<br> <BR><div>> Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2015 09:16:09 -0500<br>> From: slevin@SIGNPUDDLE.NET<br>> Subject: Re: Request from Brazilian LIBRAS writer for Fingerspeller for LIBRAS<br>> To: SW-L@LISTSERV.VALENCIACOLLEGE.EDU<br>> <br>> Hi Val,<br>> <br>> The process to create a new fingerspelling option is a two step <br>> process. Step 1) create a list of letters and the associated FSW <br>> strings. Step 2) properly center the FSW strings so that the <br>> constructed fingerspellings will properly align.<br>> <br>> Step 1 needs to be done by someone who knows the target language. <br>> Primarily, they need to create the entries in SignPuddle for all of the <br>> fingerspelling letters. After that, they can point me to the correct <br>> puddle/entries, or they can help me and compile the list for me like the <br>> examples below.<br>> <br>> The FingerSpelling feature of SignPuddle uses a simple text file per <br>> set. Here are the first 3 lines for ASL:<br>> A,M507x507S1f720487x492<br>> B,M507x507S14720493x485<br>> C,M508x507S16d20491x487<br>> <br>> The Germain Sign Language is interesting because it has letter <br>> combinations for SS and SCH:<br>> SS,M526x508S20320492x492S26506511x494<br>> SCH,M512x507S14c20489x476<br>> <br>> <br>> Step 2 is more involved and usually takes me an hour or two. Each FSW <br>> string needs to be re-centered so that the center of the palm is the <br>> center of the sign. I created a simple page that helps me re-center the <br>> signs.<br>> http://signbank.org/signpuddle2.0/fingercross.php?ui=1&sgn=4<br>> <br>> For each letter, paste in the FSW string and adjust the horizontal and <br>> vertical offsets accordingly. Once the sign is properly re-centered, <br>> copy the new FSW string and paste it into a text file.<br>> <br>> After the text file has been created with all of the re-centered signs, <br>> I can install it on SignPuddle online and it will be available in the <br>> FingerSpelling feature.<br>> <br>> Here are the current FingerSpelling files available.<br>> http://www.signbank.org/signpuddle2.0/data/sgn/4.fngr<br>> http://www.signbank.org/signpuddle2.0/data/sgn/28.fngr<br>> http://www.signbank.org/signpuddle2.0/data/sgn/53.fngr<br>> <br>> Regards,<br>> -Steve<br>> <br>> ________________________________________________<br>> <br>> <br>> SIGNWRITING LIST INFORMATION<br>> <br>> Valerie Sutton<br>> SignWriting List moderator<br>> sutton@signwriting.org<br>> <br>> Post Messages to the SignWriting List:<br>> sw-l@listserv.valenciacollege.edu<br>> <br>> SignWriting List Archives & Home Page<br>> http://www.signwriting.org/forums/swlist<br>> <br>> Join, Leave or Change How You Receive SW List Messages<br>> http://listserv.valenciacollege.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=SW-L&A=1<br>> <br></div> </div></body>
