Research Abstract

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. This knowledge can be utilized and manipulated by the user based on his needs.
