Résumé
The SignWriting improved fast transcriber (SWift), presented in this paper, is an advanced editor for computer-aided writing and transcribing using the SignWriting (SW). SW has been devised to allow deaf people as well as linguists to exploit an intuitive and easy to grasp written form of (any) Sign Language. The SWift has been developed for everyone who masters the SW, so it’s not exclusively a deaf-oriented software. The application allows the users to compose the desired sign using elementary components called glyphs, guided through a fully supportive procedure that makes the composition process fast and intuitive. The users are also allowed to save the composed sign. The SWift has the ambitious goal of helping to break down the "electronic" barriers that keep the deaf community away from the web. The editor has been developed in a modular way, so it can be integrated everywhere the use of the SW as an alternative to written / verbal language may be advisable
