I signed a very important contract today.
The agreement between Ology Interactive and Bilby Publishing means that AusSign is almost ready to issue to Apple for review.
Up until now, AusSign has been based on dictionary data dating back 10 years, a small fraction of which was outdated, or simply never used. Bilby Publishing have been in the game for over a decade, refining and updating their online database, and providing resources for Special Needs Education not only in Australia but in other parts of the world.
In addition to their data, high resolution images and video bank, they bring an existing customer base. Their long term presence in the field means that partnering with them, to deliver a co-branded product will give visibility to AusSign within the communities to which it is aimed.
AusSign aims become, the single largest mobile dictionary of its type and regional versions will be released for multiple languages including Sign Language in; Australia, Britain, New Zealand and the USA. Furthermore, since AusSign supports sub-regional dialect variations; differences in the signing of words between states, it is well positioned to become the App of choice by educators and students of sign language in all states.
I look forward to working with the directors of Bilby Publishing to bring this vision to life.
