Function details

Daily situational interactive platform (hereinafter referred to as ``platform'')

Deaf people need to communicate in different daily situations. The platform lists different daily life situations, and provides relevant communication dialogues and sign language videos in the situations. This platform makes the mobile phone a basic aid to communication with the deaf*. In addition, the platform provides a dialogue suggestion function to allow users to respond, and the management staff will strive to follow up.

My sign language assistant

The assistant will analyze the Chinese sentences entered by the user, look for the sign language words among them, and provide the search results. When the user believes that the result is consistent with their meaning and confirmation, the assistant provides a combined play function to integrate the results. When the user believes that the result does not meet their meaning, the program will record the result as a reference for the management personnel, and take follow-up actions, for example, adding a "platform" hand sentence. Users can also suggest sign language words through the back-to-back function.

Sign language is ever-changing, and the assistant's result may not be the same as every deaf person's sign language expression*, but it still plays an indispensable role in subsidizing the function of the "daily situational interaction platform". At the same time, assistants also provide users with a fun experience of sign language DIY, arousing the motivation of the public to further understand and learn sign language, and play an important role in promoting the popularization of sign language.
