When you read a text and come across a word you don't know, select that word, click on the SignIt icon: the sign in LSF and the definition of the word in French will appear on a window.
If a word is not available in LSF, user are provided an easy-to-use recording webapp to record that signed word. The definitions come from the French Wiktionary to which you can also contribute to.
