Fingerspelling (software)
My fingerspelling is okay (except for retention), but reading other signers is not so easy because at Deaf speed the messege zooms by too fast and comprehension is dead.
So today I was surfing and I found this product that addresses the problem. From reading the site, do you feel I should look into purchasing the product? The applications are called Fingerspelling 1 & 2. Thanks for your help!

Practicing in the mirror helps some, so does visualize letter groupings instead of each letter - I "see" the fingerspelled word "BATTERY" as a single sign, not it's individual letters. Also personally I think it's much better to get very comfortable seeing short words, then build the length a letter at a time .... receptive skills are a matter of practice , practice, practice. One option is to find a friend who can spell to you ! |

re:BATTERY , I don't do that with all words (see the spelling as a sign... but with many loan signs I do ( JOB, BUS, CAR, DOG, BATTERY, WHAT, DO, OF)
One thing that helps alot is learning to see the distinctive shape of the word ... we do it naturally with written english. It takes practice though (and I mean years, not weeks or months) .. and honestly - I'm dyslexic a little so I have problems from time to time with fingerspelling too |

there are websites you can use
my favourite is Dr. Bill Vicars' American Sign Language (ASL) Fingerspelling Tool - no www. infront of it! they have four speeds... slow, medium, fast and Deaf... however Deaf speed is not as fast as SOME Deaf people ![]() have fun! |
