<div dir="ltr">Hi John - <div>As for font development, this is an <a href="https://github.com/sutton-signwriting/font-ttf/issues/4">open issue</a> with SignWriting. </div><div>I have recently hired someone to develop this font, so if you have experience and want to take a jab at it yourself, or are available to consult the developer, please let me know!</div><div><br></div><div>As for a translation software between sign language (I assume as a video) and SignWriting - I'm working on it for my PhD. <br>If you have any specific idea how to accomplish this, please let me know as well. Otherwise, in the next few weeks I'll be introducing some basic translation software.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Amit</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Feb 16, 2022 at 4:28 AM John Carlson <<a href="mailto:yottzumm@gmail.com">yottzumm@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Hi,<div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">My name is John C. I’ve been a lurker for a while. I wonder if there are other online communities for deaf people. I wonder if there’s a place for real-time or instantaneous communication in SignWriting and other Sign Languages. In the last couple of years, the Discord chat software has become popular among gamers and disabled communities, it offers features like emojis and video chat. So, I’ve been curious to hook up signing video chat and SignWriting on a Discord “server,” which hosts many “channels.” I have a couple of people wanting to write a Discord bot, and I thought it would be cool to try to write a translation bot between one or more sign languages and SignWriting. I think the first step may be to hook up a SignWriting composition system to Discord, even if it’s copy and paste.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">My experience involves writing chat systems and client bots and software since the 80s. I have been retired for many years, but remain active in online communities. My cohort wants to get involved in writing bots in Java, which I have used for many years. I also have experience writing a font or two for computer terminals (and old term for keyboards and screens hooked up to a computer).</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">The beginning of a discussion…</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">John</div>
