Improving SignBank
BSL is growing and changing all the time so SignBank is an evolving resource. Do you use BSL? Are you a Deaf person, interpreter,
student of BSL or the relative of a Deaf adult or child? We need your suggestions - let us know what you think, and help us build SignBank! Your feedback will help us maintain and improve SignBank (and the BSL Corpus), and importantly will help us keep access to both of them FREE.
