Reader Reviews
One thing I can say about this software, having involved in the deaf community, it's more accurate than other software that I have used. Unfortunately the software is extremely buggy with sporadic crashes and unfortunate problems with logic. The search tool seems to have been written by an beginning programmer. Some signs are visually incorrect from their description (check out kitchen and notice the video shows him using the "K" sign, but the description says to use the flat hand. Some signs don't even match the video so use with caution. The links to the website don't work (they are old) and the support is non-existent. I suspect that ASL needs to really take off before people take the language software seriously. Also note that ASL has its own structure. You would never say I am going to buy a blue car. You would say something to the effect of "Car blue me buy". Use it as a reference but not as a teaching tool to learn ASL. That is best reserved for the classroom. Comment | Permalink | (Report this)
