    Hi AnnaGrace,<br>
    <br>
    Yes, this will be possible some day.  This is called optical
    character recognition or optical glyph recognition.<br>
    <br>
    There have been several projects in the past aimed at SignWriting
    recognition and there is currently one on GitHub.<br>

          Steve,<br>
          <br>
               Thanks for the columns, it will be a big help to all
          programmers <br>
          new to SignWriting. I remember programming of the columns in
          VB.Net for <br>
          SignWriter Studio, it was quite a challenging piece of code to
          write at <br>
          the time.  This is help future projects be able to focus more
          on the <br>
          features and less on these low level issues that can sometimes
          be <br>
          challenging to write.<br>
          <br>
          Thanks<br>
