The gloverecord program expects input that is readable using readglove, and implemented the sampling protocol discussed in section 4.3, by going through a list of words given in a file and asking the user to make that sign a given number of times. Each of these signs was then saved in a separate file.
Typical use might be something like:
( stty raw -parity -echo ; gloveread ) < /dev/ttyd2 | \ gloverecord word-list save-dir 1
This would take the information from the serial port, which gloveread would convert to the readglove format, which would then be captured by gloverecord. The options to gloverecord are the list of signs to ask the user to provide, the directory in which the samples are to be saved and the number of times to ask the user to provide those signs. Files are saved in the directory using the name format <sign-name><sample-number>.sign.
