AW: SignBook App

[MARIA GALEA]

Thank you Thorben! Your email answers all my questions, and thank you for
working on adding the LSM dictionary that is fantastic and I look forward
to it! I will also pass the word on to other users of LSM and SignWriting
here..

> Dear Maria,
>
> thank you for your feedback and interest! I will answer your questions in
> the order you asked them:
>
> Question 1: Would you be able to input other dictionaries of other sign
> languages? And what needs to be done to have your sign language dictionary
> in sign book?
>
> Answer 1: Yes, we are able to put other sign languages like LSM inside our
> app. We will activate LSM in a few days.
>
>
> Question 2: Can you send 'text messages' from signbook? and if so, do
> those receiving have to have signbook to access the messages, or can the
> messages still be read?
>
> Answer 2: This is a good idea, but in the current version of the app it is
> impossible to send text messages to other people. We are surprised, that
> this feature is mentioned in the context of our app SignBook, because we
> never announced such a feature. But it is still a great idea! If we decide
> to add such functionality, we will let you know.
>
> Question 3: At this link http://appshopper.com/education/signbook the
> price of Signbook for me is not clear..is it 179 Euros or 1.79Euros -
> sorry about this seemingly silly question..but if its the higher price I
> don't think i would buy it just now if it doesn't support LSM (maltese
> sign language)
>
> Answer 3: This is not a seemingly silly question, the website you linked
> indeed has a confusing price label style! The actual price is 1.79 € or
> 1.99 $. I recommend to use the direct link to iTunes:
> https://itunes.apple.com/en/app/%20signbook/id578623368 Here the price
> information is more transparent ;)
>
> Question 4: 4. When you first announced the app, I downloaded that app on
> my husband's IPhone (I have an android) - i opened the app, but so far all
> I was able to do was to view the signs in the dictionary - i could not
> compose any message. I was also redirected to the delegs webpage, maybe
> I'm doing something wrong?
>
> Answer 4: Thank you for using our app! But like in question 1 and answer 1
> our app (Signbook) is not able to send any messages. The Signbook app
> currently is able to  browse through dictionaries of several sign
> languages. Signbook provides  a search (on iPhone at the top of the
> overview-screen, you can scroll there) an the opportunity to change the
> shown dictionary (tap on the button "dictionaries" on the top right). In a
> few days or weeks there will be LSM too ;)
> However you can create documents using the Delegs Editor:
> http://delegs.de/delegseditor/?locale=en
>
> I hope, this anwers your questions. The whole team thanks you for your
> interest!
