What is American Sign Language Alphabet?

American Sign Language Alphabet is a manual alphabet used by deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals to communicate. Instead of using spoken words, ASL relies on a combination of hand shapes, movements, and facial expressions to convey information. It is a visual language with its own grammar and syntax. ASL Alphabet consists of 26 different signs, each representing a letter in the English alphabet.

I only had this program because I forgot to cancel after the initial trial period. However, I have used it many times and find that it is easy to use and does what i need it to do. The only issue i have had is when I need to work with documents more than 150 pages and PD filler cannot accommodate that. otherwise, I think it is great!
