Gesturing sets all the segments of the upper limb in motion according to degrees of freedom, particular amplitudes and a series of intrinsic frames of reference centered on each segment. Typannot, the typefont system presented here, is based on these characteristics and integrates them into a structural hierarchy with an informational level corresponding to the features (characters), gathered in a level of glyphs composed. Typannot usability is ensured by respecting four design principles (genericity, modularity, legibility/readability and inscriptibility) and the use of a data entry interfaces managing these information levels. To illustrate the use of this font, analyses of the handshapes and proper location of the hand show the influence of practical gestures on symbolic gestures (i.e., SL signs). Considering the still cumbersome annotation time that such a transcription system imposes, the objective is to allow a “gestural dictation”, a direct transcription from motion capture data. This perspective should also facilitate the transcription of all the so-called co-verbal gestures of any vocal language.
