Copy Sign Text

SignWriting List

Maria -
Just a point that you may not realize. The Reader will be for  
"reading" documents that have already been created with SignPuddle  
Online, or the PersonalPuddle. It will not be a program that can  
"write' the actual documents. I am not sure if that was your question,  
but just wanted to clarify that...The reason the Reader has so much  
potential is that it can bring SignWriting Literature to people's  
handheld devices, and to your computer desktop, without an internet  
connection, and without being too data intensive. There will also be  
more features than just reading...video can be included with the  
SignWriting documents, such as the Cat in the Hat video that goes with  
the SignText, and also we will be able to do symbol-searches on the  
documents...I believe the Reader software will tell us how many  
symbols are used in a document, and I believe we will be able to  
search for Symbol Frequency within one document someday. I am also  
planning to package a SignPuddle Reader with lots of literature pre- 
installed and sell it on Amazon.com and in our SignWriting Shop...to  
help our nonprofit organization...

So as far as writing your documents goes, just keep doing what you are  
doing with SignPuddle Online and the PersonalPuddle ;-)

Val ;-)
