This is very exciting, Amit. I did not know about this attached document….



I like your interface. I think there will be interest from people to manually transcribe videos, and show the SignWriting on screen, and I welcome your tutorial. Once we have the tutorial we might find several people who will want to do this work. And videos with transcription will start to flourish...

It is a valuable contribution and thank you!

Val ;-)
