Now, the signs from the best-selling American Sign Language Handshape Dictionary are available on computer software DVD. The Handshape Dictionary organizes more than 1 400 ASL signs by 40 basic handshapes. The DVD features a diverse cast of native signers forming all the signs. Each sign includes a complete list of English glosses and synonyms from The Handshape Dictionary for reference.

The DVD is fully searchable with full color, enabling users to survey each handshape group for a specific sign. Users can not only find the corresponding English words for the sign, they will benefit from the added dimension of seeing exactly how the sign is formed from beginning to end, and repeat as necessary to learn how to form it themselves. This DVD presents students, sign language teachers, and deaf and hearing people alike with a perfect complement to The Handshape Dictionary to enhance communication skills in both ASL and English.
