My
ASL and Deaf Resources
In learning about ASL and Deaf culture, I've accumulated a variety of
online resources. I've presented some of those resources here, and I hope
you'll find them useful and interesting.
- Sign Language Dictionaries
- ASLWeb - A
project of the Michigan State University Communications Technology
Lab. Contains a dictionary of several thousand signs with QuickTime
movies to demonstrate the signs. This is my favorite ASL dictionary
site.
- HandSpeak - An interactive
dictionary of ASL signs and Deaf culture
- Animated ASL Dictionary
- Animated GIF diagrams of some signs.
- The DEAF-L
mailing list is a well-established list, gatewayed to Usenet.
- Deaf mailing lists on Yahoo
Groups
A full list of books relating to ASL, Deaf Culture and so forth can
be found on my Reading List.
- TTYs (teletypewriters) are used for communication by and with Deaf
people. Some companies which make TTYs are Ameriphone,
Ultratec and Krown
Research.
- Gallaudet University distributes a TrueType font for Windows and
Macintosh PCs which allows you to type using the fingerspelling alphabet.
You can download it from here.
