[Sw-l] SignTube For SignWriting Video Captions

SignWriting List
July 31, 2023

Hello Amit and Steve -
I do not mean to answer for Steve, but Steve and I did talk about this issue awhile back and if I understood it correctly, SignMaker 2022 that is being used with the SignTube program cannot save a dictionary, although SignMaker 2017 possibly can save dictionaries….but that is not connected with any other program.

So in relation to SignTube, I have decided to go into SignPuddle 2 in advance and create a special vocabulary list just for the signs that are used in Goldilocks Level 3. Once I have them written exactly the way they should be, and found and listed, in SingPuddle 2, I can open SignPuddle 2 in another browser or window, and SignTube in  Chrome, and go back and forth between the two adding the signs based on what I have done in SignPuddle 2 -

I am happy to do this and hope to start on it soon. I have two other projects to finish - one of them an exciting new document in Argentinian Sign Language with a video….

But definitely this is high on my list - and thank you again Amit for all you are doing -

Steve is traveling I believe -

And I feel so blessed to be able to work again -

My blessings to everyone -

Val ;-)

How do I place signs in the dictionary to use in SignTube? I cannot find a dictionary. Can I create a dictionary in advance and load it into SignTube later? I could create a special dictionary just for one video’s vocabulary, but I do not know what program to use for this project and if I do it in SignPuddle 2 how do I load it into SignTube?
