DELEGS
DELEGS - Deutsch lernen mit GebärdenSchrift is the website of the project "Schriftpracherwerb für Gehörlose mit Web-2.0-Techniken". The aim of the project is to promote the German language skills of the deaf in order to open up better opportunities for them in their professional and private lives.
We actively accompany this project with the development of software that supports the learning process.
SignScript is a writing system that can be used to record sign language. SignScript consists of easy-to-understand symbols that represent hand shapes, movements, places of execution and various mimic expressions of signs.
SignScript pictures illustrate individual signs and, as the examples show, are easy to follow. With SignScript we build a bridge between German Sign Language and German written language.
The delegs editor is an online platform for creating texts in signwriting. It is free of charge and can be used without installation. The delegs editor enables the exchange of documents in sign language. In class, it is an optimal tool for comparing German and sign language. Its dictionary contains about 23,000 sign language entries so far.
