A handheld device system, such as cellular phone
or a PDA, can be used in acquiring Sign Language (SL).
The developed system uses graphic applications. The user
uses the graphical system to view and to acquire knowledge
about sign grammar and syntax based on the local vernacular
particular to the country. This paper explores and
exploits the possibility of the development of a mobile
system to help the deaf and other people to communicate
and learn using handheld devices. The pedagogical assessment of the prototype application that uses a recognitionbased interface e.g., images and videos, gave evidence that the mobile application is memorable and learnable. Additionally, considering primary and recency effects in the interface design will improve memorability and learnability.
