Hi Charles, 

you are right delegs is a wonderful and very powerful tool to support
anybody to learn SL or spoken language. It just depends on the dictionary.
So the more entries and alternatives the better the chance to produce
perfect documents, vocabulary lists, diary, songs, word bey word
translations, ASL or signed English – just depends on the scribe. 

Did you see that you can write with the SignPuddle ASL dictionary as basis?
If you want to print your document you first have to produce a pdf.document.
Afterwards you can save at your computer or print or ... what you want. – We
are still improving this program. Next step will be to get the chance to
change/rewrite entries  for a given document. 

Have a wonderful weekend

Stefan

I am impressed with DELEGS, it does look like a unique glossing system.

SignWriting List

May 2, 2012

Hi Charles -

Steve's message below was referring to something else -

SignPuddle 2.0 is now using the database font. It does not change how users
use the software. It is on the technical level, behind the software,
regarding how the ISWA 2010 symbols are retrieved - it is faster and cleaner
to use the database font, from a programming perspective - so it is not
changing how we use SignPuddle.

Regarding using SignWriter DOS
I am sure you know that it can be used right
now?
I use SignWriter DOS occasionally still
If you want to do that, you can
download DOSBox and install it, and then use SignWriter DOS inside DOSBox -
It works on both Mac and Windows
SignWriter DOS is still very much alive.

http://www.dosbox.com

And then there is a wonderful new program for writing ASL and DGS (German
Sign Language). Have you tried used DELEGS for ASL? It makes it possible to
keyboard English and get the equivalent in ASL, drawing from the SignPuddle
Online ASL database - you might consider it - I am really impressed with
DELEGS

So with this could we get back to what was possible with the old SignWriter
program, able to switch between Roman alphabet sentences and SW signs and
back again in the same message, search for a sign, find and replace, and all
the other "normal" things for word processing? I'd love to be able to
keyboard signs again instead of being dependent upon a mouse-driven program.

Greetings list,

I've updated the ISWA 2010 font reference to include the ISWA 2010 font
database.
http://signpuddle.net/iswa

I've updated the SignWriting Image Server to be able to use the database
font.  Available on GitHub.
https://github.com/Slevinski/SWIS

The font database is an improvement in size and speed.  Instead of tens of
thousands of files, multiple fonts can be included in a single file.  The
increase in speed is noticeable when comparing the filesystem font to the
database font.  Very exciting.

Regards,
-Steve
