An introduction to some of the lesser known SIL software tools

In this video we take a look at some of the lesser known software tools available to you through https://software.sil.org/products/.   These are tools that have been designed to meet a particular need.  I acknowledge on the front end that I am not an expert on these tools, or the task that they are designed to help make easier.
