Enter meaning Use the pencil icon button to display the input view and enter the meaning of sign language. * Be sure to click the "Done" button after entering. Please note that if you close the view without pressing the "Done" button, the words you type will be deleted without being saved. 3. Select the characteristics of the action Use the button in the center of the toolbar to set a keyword that represents characteristics of action. Keywords are selected from hands, hand movements, head, face, chest, belly, arms, etc. to set the body parts and movements to be used.
