Suggestions appear in light blue in the editing area as the user is typing, and can be selected by pressing the autocomplete key at the far right of the keyboard (the ' key on QWERTY keyboards).<br class="">

This feature makes use of the SignWriting Server, developed by Stephen Slevinski.<br class="">

I'm happy that you can make use of the new SignWriting Server.<br class="">
