The development of the Sign Printing System (SignPS) is based on the need of a way for sign language users and teachers to compose pictures of signs without having considerable drawing skills, to store these pictures into a database and to retrieve them at wish for several purposes. The sign pictures are abstract but nevertheless recognizeable without specific training. The programme is not developed for scientific purposes, but for use by the general (signing) public.
