SignWriting List August 2, 2014 Hello Charles - Thank you also for presenting Presentation 10... Presentation 10 http://www.signwriting.org/symposium/presentation0010.html I am glad to know that other presentations in the Symposium have inspired you to new thoughts and ideas for the future… That is exactly what I hope will happen - We will inspire each other to new developments, projects and ideas to share… Yes, I agree, Google Hangouts is wonderful. We wanted a split screen too - but the technology was not there - maybe in time we can find a way for a split screen on Google Hangouts but as far as we know that feature is not available yet - Regarding transcripts - it is not possible to have a transcript for captioning in advance of speaking. The transcripts needed for captioning are not a script…it is exactly what was really spoken…so that deaf people or others reading the captions can know what was said, no matter what, even if it was a clearing of your throat, or saying “well”…or pausing and saying “uh” - the transcript has to be timed with the exact minute you say these things so when reading the captions it matches what the voice says on the video… Val ;-) On Aug 2, 2014, at 7:17 AM, Charles Butler <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Thank you so much for the opportunity, I am still going back through my dictionaries the more I think about it and may have some improvements on a universal dictionary. > > 1) The possibility of a dictionary that has places for every currently catalogued hand shape.
