Introduce SignDict
SignDict is the very first dictionary specifically designed to translate both American Sign Language (ASL) and Japanese Sign Language (JSL). Its primary goal is to enhance communication and foster greater understanding among users of these two distinct sign languages. This tool is developed to offer fast, accurate, and easily accessible sign language references, helping to overcome language barriers and promote connection within Deaf communities around the globe.
Japanese Sign Language
Hiragana is used for easy reading and pronunciation. Some Hiragana characters may remain the same but have different meanings when written in Kanji. It is important to note that Kanji can also be used for Katakana if appropriate characters are available. This is why it is essential to check the indicators carefully: Type stands for Types, and Parts stands for Parts (for example, Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, and so on). On the left side, you will see the Kanji representation, including any necessary variations.
American Sign Language
Right side: Sign Language meaning into English. Left side: A Types, for example, Hot (touch), Hot (weather). This layout helps clarify the specific context and usage of each sign, making it easier to understand their different meanings.
Search is powerful
SignDict is specifically designed to help you search for what you want to learn in Hiragana, Kanji, or English, making it easier to find the sign language you're interested in. Our layout displays two combined columns side by side in each row, allowing you to see translations simultaneously. This feature helps you learn Japanese and American Sign Language at the same time more effectively!
