So, I think if I create the next Video adding one Location to the search, and then show it to you all here on the SignWriting List, we will see if we are all learning how to search. We can correct videos as we go, and add written instruction, and we will find we will have a WhatsThatSign User Manual with videos and instruction within a a month or so. Maybe later you can place a link to the User Manual under the Help section. Thank you again for your help, and I will create Video 02 shortly and post it this evening.

There are 5 options currently: any location, neutral, head & neck, shoulder, and arms. (Any location would be done by tapping on “Location”.) Of course, selecting any location wouldn’t narrow your search down at this point, but it would allow you to narrow it down with further features, such as having or not having a “second hand” or non-dominant hand.
