Sometimes your phone will pop up "Install" automatically after visiting a few pages on the site. If not, then tap the menu button and scroll down to find "add to homescreen". Tap Add to homescreen.
You can enter a name for the shortcut (e.g. "Handspeak") and then Chrome will add it to your home screen.

That's it. Tap on the Handspeak icon and the web browser will load up the web app. Enjoy the sign language app!

Tap the "Share" button on the browser's toolbar. Select the "Add to Home Screen" icon in the Share menu.
You can rename the shortcut before tapping the Add button. The shortcut can be dragged around and placed anywhere, just like an app icon.
That's it! Tap on the Handspeak icon to open the web app. Happy browsing on the sign language app!
First open your Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge browser and visit the website at www.handspeak.com. Look for an 'install' icon in the omnibox or URL field. The 'install' icon may not show up immediately. Wait a few seconds or so for it to show up or keep cruising on the website after a few pages and check the icon.
Click on the 'install' icon. It will pop up a 'install' window box.
Click on the 'install' button to install the Handspeak web app on your computer. It will automatically open the handspeak app on your computer.
Browse as you normally do. You have the active app in the taskbar. You can pin the Handspeak icon to the taskbar as well as the Start menu.
If you decide not to use the app, you can uninstall it. To uninstall the app, simply open the app and click on the menu and select "uninstall". You can come back through the web browser on the Web/Internet any time.
