Enhanced ASL Dictionary app available
RIT/NTID-developed dictionary used all over the world
An enhanced version of the ASL Video Dictionary and Inflection Guide, created by Rochester Institute of Technology’s National Technical Institute for the Deaf, now is available for iPhones and Android phones.
The ASL Video Dictionary and Inflection Guide has been a popular educational tool used worldwide, with examples of 2,700 signs and 650 sentences. It is used by those learning American Sign Language as well as deaf students learning English.
“It fills a critical need in that it presents signs in sentence-level context to allow viewers to see how the signs change to convey different meanings,” said Geoff Poor, project director.
The iOS app is available in the Apple App store for $1.99, and the Android app is available in the Google Play store for $1.99.
