Dear SignWriting List members, and Professor Ye!

Thank you Professor Ye Kyaw Thu, for inviting me to speak at the 6th Workshop on Innovation Initiatives in NLP/AI/Education, in Thailand (and Online) on November 12, 2024.

I enjoyed meeting Professor Ye and other participants face to face on Zoom!

I shared my screen a little, and Sutthikhun Phaengphongsai wrote three signs in the Myanmar SignPuddle Online.

Professor Ye has videos on Github of Myanmar Sign Language, so they have something to write and plan to create a Myanmar Dictionary on SignPuddle 2 in the future.

Wonderful to be in touch again with Professor Ye and his team, who did an exellent job with developing a Myanmar Fingerspelling Keyboard in 2018.

Here are some links to their work:
