Ultimate American Sign Language Dictionary CD-ROM
The Ultimate American Sign Language Dictionary is the first sign language dictionary on CD-ROM to be totally accessible to deaf users. Produced by an award-winning team of professionals in the field of deaf education, three years of research went into the development of this innovative software, with funding support from U.S. Department of Education. Designed to be a true dictionary for deaf and hearing people alike, this package provides an opportunity to discover how ASL signs and English relate through meaning. The dictionary contains approximately 2,400 ASL signs and 6,000 English words. The meaning of signs that have no single English word equivalent can be discerned (e.g., What's happening?), and multiple English words that share the same sign (e.g., all, total, whole) can be found by describing the sign. Variations of a single English word that share the same sign (e.g., happy, happily) are shown with the part of speech. Words and their definitions may be obtained by typing the English word (English Search) or by describing the sign (ASL Search). Spell-check and parameter-check features help you find the word even when you spell or describe the word incorrectly. The program will show you English words that share the same sign and signs that share the same English word, so you can choose the precise definition you want. This is a desktop must for any deaf person, family member, or service provider of a deaf person! |
