What is BSL fingerspelling?
Fingerspelling represents written letters with handshapes. It can be useful for names, places, initials and words that need to be spelled out. It is only one part of British Sign Language and is not the same as translating every English word into BSL.
How to use SignMyWord
Choose BSL, type a word or name, and SignMyWord arranges the corresponding fingerspelling letters in order. You can then create a shareable image, copy a link or make a classroom worksheet.
SignMyWord is a fingerspelling reference tool, not a full BSL translation service.
