Abstract

Idea and motivation towards this research work have been created after publishing many papers in this domain ( e-Learning and multimedia for hearing impaired persons) , for more details , kindly consider the related references. However the author accomplished those papers among the previous five years, but all of them deal with English script. The author tried since many years to develop such effective dictionary for Arab Deaf persons. Finally the author completed this dictionary . But still this dictionary is not traditional product. It is successfully works as an academic research work. Idea of research, Deaf person can submit any word individual or complete text to the dictionary, the dictionary can translate the word into its corresponding sign language. However simultaneously the word under translation is displayed with different color , size and underlining . Thus the deaf person can trace process of translation . Besides effects on the word under process , the corresponding meaning in English language is displayed too. As research work the author tested the system on hundred words and sentences , they all work successfully. After completing some selected cases , the dictionary was tested by some experts who followed their valuable feedback. Finally conclusion show the benefit of this work on training and practicing on sign language as well as the importance of learning reading skills in English language. Sign language is only considered as mode of communication because lip movement is difficult in Arabic language not all words could be displayed through lip movement as well as the author did not find Arabic e-Lip movement vocabulary. About finger spelling same reason the author did not find Arab- finger spelling vocabulary. The author prepared round 3000 video cuts for sign language vocabulary. The author used only hundred for translating into their corresponding Arabic Script. Visual Basic with effective multimedia components have been used. The author displayed via this paper some selected case study of run-out screen and describe the needful details so as to explain the mechanism of the dictionary .
