Paper Abstract:
|
Information and communication technologies (ICT) should be available not only for general users but also for users with disabilities. We still need gap control especially for users with disabilities in developing countries. In this paper, we present font development, keyboard mapping and text input prototype for Myanmar language fingerspelling characters. Moreover, we discuss the usability of our approach based on the user study results with current fingerspelling text input prototype. The evaluation was made in terms of typing speed (characters per minute) and feedbacks from two types of users (hearing-impaired users and general users). We believe that the outcome of this research is useful for designing Myanmar fingerspelling keyboard layout, creation of fingerspelling educational contents and communication between hearing-impaired users and general users. |
