You can see our work at <a href="http://www.signtyp.uconn.edu">www.signtyp.uconn.edu</a>. Besides the sign puddles for over 20 langauges, there is information about the meaning of each signwriting symbol available as a translation spreadsheet. I have recently developed a method to create signwritings using a spreadsheet where information from one sign can be easily copied to create a new signwriting for a similar sign. However, this is very spreadsheet oriented and requires that the transcriber understand formulas/pivot tables etc. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Steve Slevinski’s fonts are very helpful and I use them in the spreadsheets often. I am able to copy a signwriting symbol from a spreadsheet to a ms word document, but I am not sure how to create the symbol within the document. I’m sure Steve has an answer. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I’d be happy to share information etc. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Rachel Channon<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b>From:</b> SignWriting List: Read and Write Sign Languages <SW-L@LISTSERV.VALENCIACOLLEGE.EDU> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Dr. Sung-Eun Hong<br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, April 11, 2019 10:26 PM<br><b>To:</b> SW-L@LISTSERV.VALENCIACOLLEGE.EDU<br><b>Subject:</b> Hello from South Korea<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif'>Dear SW-List, <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif'>Valerie invited me to this list and so here I am. <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><blockquote style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt'><div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif'>My name is Sung-Eun HONG, I am working on a corpus-based Korean Sign Language (KSL) dictionary which will be compiled by the National Institute of Korean Language (NIKL). <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif'>The NIKL is considering to use SignWriting in their KSL Dictionary.

SignMaker's output is an image and the Rand keybord seems to be a tool for the internet (chatrooms, wikipedia).
