We have been able to gain a lot of experience with signwriting.<br><br>Who also has experience?<br><br>We need about one hour for 20 videos and that is too much. We want to go faster. One video is only about 2 seconds long. <br><br>My suggestion:<br>- Sign search must be built in, because many signs are similar. And it should be suggested signs and if I find a similar one, then I choose it and adjust it.<br>- Handshape symbol should always be placed in the middle if neutral (want to avoid long dragging)<br>- Language selection should lead to reduction of symbols like hand shapes. DGS, for example, has only about 60 hand shapes. <br>- Left hand that are paralell or symmetrical should be inserted automatically.<br><br>What do you think?<br><br>I am looking forward to our animated exchange!<br><br></div><div>Best regards Uta</div></div>
