- - From Seamless Solutions, Usa: generated translation from written text or speech, into sign language.

http://www.signingbooks.org/animations/sign_language_animations.htm
- - Sign Language Animations and Signing Avatars. "Instead of a human person signing a story, a 3D animation (puppet, manikin, robot) is used to render the sign language on screen. This development may well have as large an impact on the ‘signing books’ field, as the development of ‘synthesised speech’ had for talking books. The objectives of ‘synthesised sign language’ can be compared to those of ‘synthesised speech’: a computer converts printed text into spoken text in real time, and without human intervention. In the case of ‘synthesised sign language’ however, the problem is more complex. It is not only a matter of converting printed text into another medium, but also into another language. The software therefore has to be a combination of translation software, and conversion software."
