AW: FingerSpeller for LIBRAS (Brazilian Sign Language)

Thu Oct 17 05:20:27 UTC 2013

I have added *alfabeto as a grouping for the fingerspelling alphabet for Brazilian Sign Language. There will need to be some notes for the various dialects of LIBRAS as there are multiple orientations for H, P, and the four different punctuations (tilde, acento agudo, acento grave, circumflexo) and c (with a cedilla).

Hi Steve, Valerie and
friends...

thank you so much. 

Let me ask you for the
favor to check two aspects to improve this option: 

1) I can write uppercase or lowercase.
In any case the appropriate finger alphabet letter appears. That's great!
Unfortunately this does not work on the Umlauts. (Ä,ä, Ü,ü, Ö,ö)   Here, the finger-alphabet
characters appear only in capital letters. For a quick work that would be a
hindrance.

2) The letter "ß" is shown in the DGS by moving up and down the "S-hand"
The combination of “SS” shows
the “S-hand” moving to the right – jus as any other letter if it showes up as a
double-combination (aa,bb,ee, ff....) 

In the FingerSpeller config file for German Sign Language you prepared so
far the signs for “ß”  and “ss” have to be exchanged. 

“Ss” is like this: 

“ß”  is like this    

..and of course Valerie I
agree with your idea to change the design a little bit ...smile 

All best 

Stefan

Betreff: FingerSpeller for German
Sign Language

Hi Stefan and List,

I have created the FingerSpeller config file for German Sign Language.

The whole alphabet should be supported.  I was able to get accented
characters and combinations to work.
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzÄÖÜssßsch

The horizontal output looks good.  Vertical is also available.

German Sign Language FingerSpeller is ready to use.

Please let me know what you think.  For the ASL, we are considering
pulling the arrows in tighter to their base.

I can recenter or adjust any letters if you need.

Regards,
∼Steve
