Abstract

We develop an electronic JSL (Japanese Sign Language)-Japanese dictionary. There are some dictionaries regarding JSL available in bookstores, but none of them is a type of dictionary where you can look up a JSL word and find the meaning corresponding to Japanese. Our dictionary is a phoneme-based JSL-Japanese dictionary. You search a target word of JSL by phonemes that constitute a JSL word, i.e., handshape, location, and movement. To develop a phoneme-based electronic JSL-Japanese dictionary, we first develop a database in which a JSL word is analyzed into phonemes, and then develop a system to narrow down candidates for a target JSL word that we would like to find, display the picture, and return the meaning. We also devise an interface that facilitates word search for the user.
