<text> Learning and Using American Sign Language Fingerspelling with the Macintosh® Computer Original March 1985, R.L. Smith Revision January 1990, G.A. Smith THIS STACK AND DOCUMENTATION WERE WRITTEN FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE HEARING IMPAIREDASL Stack by: Glenn A. Smith Rt 3 Box 115 Grand Saline, TX 75140ASL Fingers Font by: Richard L. Smith 4 Nottingham Way North Clifton Park, NY 12065This Stack Includes:• A discussion of fingerspelling and how the fonts and stack were made.• ASL Fingers Font (48 point only). • Special fingerspelling icons.Available from Richard L. Smith:• ASL Font in five point type sizes (14, 18, 24, 36, and 48). • A BASIC Program for Learning to Read Fingerspellings.• A Concentration Game for Improving Spelled Word Skills.TABLE OF CONTENTS1.0 Background Information on Fingerspelling1.1 Purpose of Developing This Application and the Font Set 1.2 ASL Finger Font Included in This Stack1.3 The Available Sizes Displayed1.4 Font Visual Representation Limitations1.5 Installing ASL Finger Font For Macintosh® Usage2.0 Description of the ASL Stack3.0 Message From Richard L. Smith4.0 Shareware Notice1.0 BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON FINGERSPELLINGIt is estimated that fourteen million people in the United States are hearing impaired. Nearly two million can be classified as deaf. The purpose of this stack and associated documentation is to provide the interested user with a learning aid for a new set of communication tools. Used for self teaching or in a formal educational setting, these tools provide a method of learning and practicing the skill of communication with the American Sign Language Alphabet. These communication skills are easy to learn and use. The only people who cannot communicate in this manner are those who have not taken the time to learn or those who do not practice.1.1 PURPOSE OF DEVELOPING THIS APPLICATION AND THE FONT SETThe stack and font set described here were developed for the purpose of giving Macintosh® owners a way of learning and reading the American Sign Language Alphabet. For the knowledgable user, the ASL Stack will assist you in learning finger spelling word recognition skills (BASIC programs and additional font sizes, available from Richard L. Smith, will challenge you to speed up these skills. See Section 3.0). Finger spelling fonts have a virtually limitless number of applications. Anyone who can type can print articles, test papers, short stories or letters directly in the ASL type styles provided. The printed articles or papers can also be arranged to contain standard typed words, along with the fingerspellings. This is especially convenient for those who are just beginning to learn the ASL alphabet.1.2 ASL FINGER FONT INCLUDED IN THIS STACKFigure 1 displays a sample of each letter of the alphabet (A-Z) in the ASL signed form. The alphabet shown is in the 48-point type size. In Figure 2, the finger spellings are shown in four different samples of type style which are automatically available when using the Macintosh®. The additional styles include BOLD, SHADOW, ITALICS and UNDERLINED.1.3 FIVE AVAILABLE SIZESSign (sine), n., A motion or gesture which conveys an idea or message.Font (font), n., A printer's type of one style.Figures 3 and 4 show a representative display of six different sizes of the ASL Finger spelling font. Five sizes, 14 through 48 point, are individually generated fonts, whereas, 72 point was scaled up from the 48 point type. The most legible of the type sizes (while remaining small enough for both screen and printed usage) are the 24 and 36 point size types. The ideal size, of course, is the larger 48 point. In addition to the alphabet, signed numbers 0 through 9 have been included in the type fonts generated to date. Examples of these numeric signs are shown in Figure 5.1.4 LIMITS TO VISUAL REPRESENTATIONThere are obvious limitations to the size of the type that can be represented by the ASL form of the letters. Clear visual definitions of the hand and fingers in a type size below 14 points do not appear to be possible with the dot matrix representation used here (72 dot-per-inch bit-map, as opposed to a 300dpi laser font). There just aren't enough dots in a 12 point size grid to give the desired positions of all the fingers. An understanding of the limitations of the dot matrix representation can be seen by referring to Figure 6. Shown are a few of the hand signs during their production (24 point size). The individual squares shown represent the dots (or pixels) which make up the character in the actual type when it is printed in normal size on the printer. The normal size for the 24 point type is shown in the lower part of the figure.1.5 INSTALLING ASL FONT FOR MACINTOSH® USAGEThe ASL Fingers font can be used by various computer software, such as text editors, paint/draw programs and high level language programs (HyperCard, BASIC, etc.). In each application, however, the font must be "installed," or be available for system access. This is easily done with the aid of the "Font/DA Mover" program supplied on the system disk of the Macintosh® (and/or using DAs such as Suitcase or Font Juggler). Simply install the ASL Fingers font in your system. (Hold down the Option key while selecting "Open" in Font/DA Mover and you will be able to access the ASL Fingers font included in this stack, or use ResEdit to transfer the FONT and FOND resources.)Upon running an application, you should see the "ASL Fingers" title under the "Font" menu selection. This is demonstrated in Figure 7. The check mark shown will only appear in front of the "ASL" font when it is selected for use in that application.Note: For word processor and object-oriented graphics program usage, if you change the system, ASL Fingers font will not appear unless it is also available for use by that system. However, in a paint program (bit-mapped graphics), once the drawing is generated, the font is no longer needed for subsequent display or printing.2.0 DESCRIPTION OF THE ASL STACKThe ASL Stack will perform two functions: 1. show you a sign in response to a typed letter, or 2. ask you to select the correct meaning of a randomly selected sign. Selecting the "Help" icon, (?), will give you additional assistance.The ASL Stack contains the following special resources:• ASL Fingers 48 point font.• Icon representations of the ASL alphabet (equivalent to 36 point type size).These resources can be accessed using the HyperCard ResCopy XCMD or the ResEdit application. Take care not to change the ASL Stack itself. To ensure no foul play, it is always advisable to work on a copy.3.0 MESSAGE FROM RICHARD L. SMITH (circa October 1988)Dear Friend,Thank you for your interest in the AMERICAN SIGN LANGUAGE FONTS, which were reviewed in the June 1988 and August 1989 issues of MacUser Magazine. In that '88 article, MacUser contributed a lot to the distribution of these fonts - world wide. I could hardly keep up with the mail. I have shipped, FREE OF CHARGE, hundreds and hundreds of copies of these fonts, as well as a BASIC program for signing practice.Letters from as far away as Australia Japan, France And Switzerland have arrived at my home. Many were kind enough to write and say how they had been waiting for something like that to become available. Many letters of appreciation were received. State and university organizations, and hospitals have taken advantage of the offer. One 8-year old typed his own request (on a Macintosh of course) and said how excited he would be to receive the font package. Some returned samples of how they used the fonts in their own correspondence.I have also learned a lot from this experience. You would not believe the number of 5.25" disks for use on the "Apple Computer" I had to return. Some requester's forgot their envelopes, their 3.5" diskettes, their stamps and did not include enough postage to deliver their package to both my home and to theirs. Others made up for these short-comings. Some people included extra complimentary diskettes and a few slipped in some money as a donation for my effort. I would say the gains have more than offset the deficiencies. By-in-large, people were really nice.I pass along the following as a reminder to you when taking advantage of the present offer: 1. Note the machine for which this offer is intended: MACINTOSH ONLY. 2. Include the Self Addressed Stamped Envelope (SASE) required for the offer. 3. PLEASE initialize diskettes before sending them. (My Mac had to work overtime for those who didn't.) 4. Include clear instructions if your request is special. (need 400K disk, etc.) 5. Package properly - a few packages were returned from being mangled. 6. Mail your request package to the address below.As a result of the interest and response I've gotten, I am working on some new programs which will extend the use of those available at this writing. I have recently compiled the BASIC program and am testing it on various Macintosh machines for compatibility.Thank you for your interest.Richard L. Smith4 Nottingham Way NorthClifton Park, New York 120654.0 SHAREWARE NOTICEThis version does not keep statistics of right versus wrong answers or anything really fancy (other than some rudamentary icon animation). Just programming what is here now was challenge enough. If anyone else does improvements, or would like to see some improvement not mentioned here, please let the author know.

<text><<<<< HELP >>>>>ENTER A LETTER, SEE THE SIGN...Shows an ASL sign when you enter it. Put the cursor in the field on top. You will notice it changes to a text tool. If you then type a letter or number on the keyboard (leaving the mouse within the field boundaries, to the right of the current character), the equivalent ASL sign will appear. Type another, and it replaces the first. Etcetera...Try it. You will notice that when you move the mouse out of the boundaries of the field, the text is erased.WHAT IS THIS SIGN?On the right side of the screen is the question, "What is this sign?," with an ASL icon to the left of it. Selecting an answer results in either a wrong or right response. After answering correctly you will have the option to do another or not. Selecting the ASL icon sign will also reset the question. In either case, when it is reset a new ASL sign is randomly selected, and three new answers are randomized.
