Good With Your Hands

Improve your fingerspelling reading skills with Good With Your Hands! Our unique, interactive, fully animated 3D avatar helps you learn communication-basics using the American Sign Language alphabet and can greatly increase your fingerspelling reading skills.

Unlike other methods, Good With Your Hands uses full-body 3D avatars and in-context fingerspelling, rather than still shots, videos, simple hand models, or drawings. You can zoom and rotate the avatar with 360 degrees of freedom, allowing you to see the hand shapes from all angles! Fingerspelling is produced in-context with full ASL sentences, making it the most realistic and effective fingerspelling practice available. And unlike videos, our 3D avatar randomizes the order of the practice drills every time it is used, so that students are always interpreting the content cold.

Our distinct game-style quizzes allow for real time practice with letters and words of varying length and spelling speed. Try your hand at our practice games and you’ll get hooked on beating your previous high score. Great for both student and veteran interpreters to greatly increase fingerspelling receptivity skills. After completing 10 drills (or 20 or 30, depending on your settings), you get a score based on (1) how many fingerspelled words you got right or wrong; (2) your speed; and (3) the environmental demands present.
