Flash Video used to teach sign language

March 22nd, 2004 by mike downey Leave a reply »

According to this article, Australian company
Catalyst Communications and Training is building an online sign-language dictionary for the deaf community in Australia.

The article mentions, “Finding the right sign will only be a matter of typing in a word and viewing it as a Macromedia Flash video.”

It’s great to see so many companies opting for Flash as their video delivery platform. A wise choice considering 93% of Web users will be able to see the video (via FLP 6 and up). The second most pervasive video player, Windows Media Player, is only installed on 61% of Internet-connected desktops – and it is an 11MB+ download for Windows! Flash Player 7 is only 463KB for Windows.

The Auslan dictionary will be made available from www.ridbc.org.au.
