[Sw-l] SignWriting Symposium 2015: 12 Presentations

Tue Jul 21 15:47:19 UTC 2015

Hi - I'm enjoying the presentation from home. I'm not sure how to ask
questions live..;-(((

Would it be possible to get a demonstration on how long it takes to write a
sentence with this keypoard without using a dictionary in the background?

Can you write the sentence in ASL   "SignWriting is a wonderful invention."

All best Stefan
