[Sw-l] Why SignWriting? by Adam Frost (Video Including SignWriting)

[Amit Moryossef]

Some of you might already be familiar with this video by Adam Frost.
I saw the transcription on SignPuddle, so I decided to align the video with
the SignWriting transcription.

*Video with transcription*:
https://youtu.be/Fr4R5Rs14AM
(The video quality is poor since the original video
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mtl7dmyHgJU>'s quality is poor.)

To those unfamiliar with my work, I attempt to automate this process - for
every video, I would like to automatically generate SignWriting, and
translate it into a spoken language. This video was manual, and the dream
is to completely automate this process.

*Original content:*
Why SignWriting (part 1)
<https://www.signbank.org/SignPuddle1.6/searchword.php?ui=1&sgn=5&sid=352&sTrm=Why&type=any&sTxt=&sSrc=&>
Why SignWriting (part 2)
<https://www.signbank.org/SignPuddle1.6/searchword.php?ui=1&sgn=5&sid=353&sTrm=Why&type=any&sTxt=&sSrc=&>

*Modifications:*
There's a sign for "system" missing in the original transcription. I added
it.

*Thanks* to Adam for recording this video, and to Steve for teaching me how
to convert old SignWriting formats (BSW3) to FSW.

*Additional information*:
The interface is my own. If there would be interest from people to manually
transcribe videos, and show the SignWriting on screen, I could make a
tutorial.
I attached the VTT captions file if anyone is interested in it.
