> I then got this back (see attached) but the description in English does not match the sign that I wrote in SignWriting. There are many different ways to sign Merry Christmas and they described in English a different sign… so this is not really SignWriting in a database, is it? I think they got the information from the name I gave the png, not from the written SignWriting symbols, since they were a graphic, maybe I should try to paste FSW?… No matter what, thank you for pointing this program out to us and thank you to everyone involved with these wonderful new programs ;-)<br>
