I have Skype as well, but I'd probably be a little nervous to sign with some of you seasoned signers! I'm a deafie that's totally new at ASL, so if anyone would be patient enough, I'd be okay with signing with you all.
I'll add people later tonight if I get on, and if you said you'd be willing to talk to a beginner! You can PM me your username if you don't want it on the forum too and if you will be slow signing to me.
Well, tried the cam, it will go back. Ratz.
I am very novice when it comes to computer cameras.
I did try to adjust it while connected with wintermagnolia, she was seeing just a blur when I started signing. Frustrating.
Maybe I will unpack it and try again before buying a new one.
Thanks for suggestions, I need all the help I can get
Mine was originally showing a blur when I signed as well... but my son adjusted the exposure, and especially the "gain" and it took all the blur away. What kind of webcam do you have?
I did have the $30 Logitech QuickCam Chat and it was terrible! Everything had to be in "super-slo-mo" just so it wasn't blurry. There were no setting to be able to change. Now, I have the $100 (I got it on sale for $80) Logitech Webcam Pro 9000. It is wonderful.
You are so very welcome!! I really enjoyed it. I'm really trying to get on Skype as much as I can, but as I've posted before... my schedule gets kinda crazy. Haha!
I was supposed to chat with Travis last night on Skype, and the battery on my wireless mouse died! UGH! Couldn't use my computer until I got some new batteries this morning... Sheesh! LOL
I'm an ASL student . . . Just finished my first 4 weeks of ASL class here at Southern IL University in Carbondale, IL. I'd love to practice with anyone on Skype...I just have to warn you, I'm still learning and am not great at ASL yet.
My Skype name is kb9dbc
Thanks!
