Information Support by Sequential Text Presentation System Using Mobile Phones for Hearing Impaired Persons

Abstract

We have developed a sequential text presentation system using mobile phones for hearing impaired persons. And we have developed a system that presents speech content using sentences containing kana and kanji characters that are presented with ideogram alongside each kanji character. The paper contains a description of the construction, functions of the system. We used the system in a lecture. After the lecture, we distributed questionnaires to the hearing impaired students to inquire about the effectiveness of the system. By analyzing the questionnaire results, we were able to verify the system’s effectiveness and usefulness.
