WMB,

That is always the toughest call. Two strikes, a check swing,
that you as plate don't think the batter went on. What I have
done is immediately go to my partner on DTS check swings. "Did
she go." I don't wait for an appeal. At least the batter is award that
there is a possibly a strike may be called and she can attempt to
advance. It also alerts the catcher, so neither has an advantage or
disadvantage.
Some time ago this topic was discussed at lenght on this board, but
have not looked for it as of yet. Signals were mentioned. Some
thought they were a good idea, others no, of course. Will look for the
previous thread on this later.
