JASigning

JASigning is our synthetic sign language performance system, superseding the earlier SiGMLSigning system developed during the ViSiCAST and eSIGN projects. Further development took place as part of our work on the Dicta-Sign project.

JASigning is subject to these conditions of use.

Supported Platforms

The current version of JASigning is intended to run on Windows (XP, Vista, 7) and on the latest releases of Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.6. JASigning is not supported on Linux at present.

It is preferable to run JASigning with an up-to-date Java 6 run-time (JRE), although it should run with the latest versions of Java 5.

On the supported platforms, that is, Windows and Mac OS X, JASigning supports both 32-bit and 64-bit operation. Which of this modes it actually runs in on any given occasion depends on several factors:

• Whether or not the processor supports 64-bit operation.
• Whether or not the operating system supports 64-bit operation.
• Whether the system has a 32-bit or a 64-bit Java installation (or both) -- and what options are set in the Java Control Panel (Windows) or Java Preferences app (Mac OS X).
• For a JASigning applet: whether the browser is running in 32-bit or 64-bit mode.

Browsers

Windows: JASigning applets should work with Safari, Firefox, Opera, Chrome, and Internet Explorer.

Mac OS X: JASigning applets should work with Firefox 3.6.24 (which is not the latest version but is still supported). It should also work with Camino 2.0.7, OmniWeb 5.11, Safari 5.0.5 (which is not the latest version).

Note: On MacOS 10.6.8 JASigning applets run in Safari 5.1, Firefox 12.0, Opera 11.50, SeaMonkey 2.2 and Chrome on Mac OS X - but they do so invisibly, due to an issue with running Java out of process.

JASigning applets may work with browsers other than those mentioned, but our testing in such cases is at best limited. Let us know!
