2023-08-08 | Eyal Yanai | A great extension (!) that allows you to learn ASL on the go. I highly recommend it for anyone who, like myself, is on their journey to improve their ASL skills and sometimes struggles to find the time to do so. Thanks for putting it together! | ||

2023-03-31 | Arthur Zey | I love the concept, and I was very excited to try it out, but it started getting very intrusive in terms of my being able to interact with page elements on various sites by blocking my ability to click on things, so I turned off the functionality while leaving the extension enabled. Then I found that, despite being turned off, while enabled, the extension interfered with the basic functionality of numerous sites, including an LMS we use for compliance training at work (and I couldn't even launch the courses), Confluence, and JIRA. The text editing functionality in Confluence was completely disrupted and resulted in inscrutable errors that were extremely infuriating as they resulted in lost work. Now, that could be a combination of problems with this extension and bad coding by Atlassian (the company that develops Confluence), since it didn't interfere with Google Docs, for instance, but sadly, it means that I had to completely disable the extension, thereby severely limiting its value to me. I was also a bit dismayed to find on the "Manage Extensions" page that "This extension is not trusted by Enhanced Safe Browsing."...that doesn't exactly inspire confidence! I'm looking forward to some indication that these issues have been fixed, so that I can reenable this extension and continue making slow progress learning ASL! | ||

2023-03-19 | Brad Mathewson | Technically, it works in the way the description says it does. But I'm really astonished by the lack of vocabulary it covers. It's mostly prepositions and similar words; "what" "before" and "in" will be highlighted dozens of times in a Wikipedia article, but virtually zero nouns, verbs or adjectives will be highlighted?? Even simple signs like "cat," "smell," and "house" are not given translations, not even to mention any signs rarer than "also," making this application virtually useless for anyone with even a very basic knowledge of ASL. (Even some of the words highlighted on the SignSpaces website itself aren't actually words the extension can translate...) I was really excited to learn about this extension, but it simply has too limited a vocabulary to be anywhere near useful. Context: I have taken one semester of ASL at university. | ||
