The usefulness of SignWriting in natural language processing was validated with a new method of machine translation that has achieved over 30 BLEU. The conversion of sign language video to SignWriting text is an emerging field with open source options. Additional machine learning projects are available for handwriting recognition of SignWriting, SignWriting to spoken language, and spoken language to SignWriting. SignWriting is a key component of the efforts to create Google translate for sign language.
