SWSignWriter App (SWSW)

INSTRUCTIONS FOR iPHONE

CREATE AN IPHONE DESKTOP ICON FOR SWSW APP:

1. Go to: https://swsignwriter.jonathanduncan.pro <https://swsignwriter.jonathanduncan.pro/>

2. Say Agree

3. Push Upload Button

4. Then Scroll Down

5. Push "Add to Home Screen"

6. You will see an icon for SWSW.
Press the "Add" button at the top of the page to add the icon to your iPhone desktop.

--------

HOW TO USE THE SWSW APP ON THE IPHONE

1. Find the new SWSW icon on your desktop and click on it.

2. A Login screen will appear. Setup your Login with Facebook or Google or Instagram or create your own ID and Password. Then Login.

3. Push the "Continue with free trial" button.

4. Push the "Install Signs from SignLanguage Puddle" and choose the ASL dictionary or other dictionaries. Then wait a few minutes to be sure it got installed.

5. Push the "Next" button at the bottom right of screen.

6. Place a cursor with your finger at the top of the screen where it says "Enter sentence"...

7. Type one word in English, like "Hello". You may be given several English choices. Choose one.

8. The sign for "hello" appears below, with a little number next to it, like the number 17. Click on the number, and it will show you 17 different variations of the sign for "hello". Choose the one you want, and say Accept. That gives you your first sign in your sentence.

9. Continue to create your sentence sign by sign in this fashion,

10. When your sentence is done, click on the Next button at the bottom of the screen. The sentence has its own window now, and you can make it taller or shorter in height.

11. Press the Share Button at the bottom of the screen. A new screen should appear which has two choices:

"Open Share Social Media"

"Open Share Email"

Click on one of those.

12. The sentence in SignWriting now shows up on its own screen. Push the Upload Button at the bottom of the screen.

13. IMPORTANT: Click on PNG Image "Options" button. 

14. CHANGE FROM AUTOMATIC TO IMAGE. Be sure there is a check mark next to the word "Image". Click Done.

15. Now choose where you want to send it. Scroll down for many choices. Or Scroll to the Right for Facebook.

16. If you choose Facebook, choose your News Feed or Your Story. Click Post.

*NOTE: Number 13-14 has to be done EVERY time you post, because the iPhone defaults to Automatic and Automatic cannot be used. You will have to tell the iPhone to send an "image" every time you write a new sentence.

It gives you choices for different signs from your dictionary, and places the signs in vertical columns for creating sentences. You can choose Center Lane, Right Lane and Left Lane, and when you are done with your sentence, you can push the Share Button to share your sentence on Social Media sites and also in email.
