Sign Of Limited Usefulness...

I love a good idea, and at first glance this seems like an excellent idea.  You have a place to type input, and then it demonstrates the sign language equivalent.  See, I know about half the letters of the alphabet in ASL, because I've never seriously had to communicate with a profoundly deaf person.  Now, of course, I can type in the word, see the video, and then make the corresponding sign.

Or - I can just let the deaf person watch the move played out on the video scree....   Oh.  Wait!

Why don't I just type the words on the screen and let the deaf person read them?  Yeah, I was kinda wondering that myself...
