ABSTRACT:
A sign language/word translation system can cope with the case where no word corresponding to a hand operation is found. The system includes a configuration for taking a countermeasure against the finding of a plurality of words corresponding to a hand operation. When a word corresponding to a hand operation is not found in a sign language word dictionary, a finger operation is input, a character corresponding to the finger operation is searched for in a manual alphabet pattern dictionary, and the character train thus obtained is found from a character word dictionary, thereby producing an appropriate word. Also, a plurality of words found from the sign language word dictionary are displayed as translation candidates, and the user inputs by a hand operation as to whether the translation candidate is appropriate or not. The translation candidate that has been decided to be appropriate is determined as the word resulting from the translation.
