Abstract

The Brazilian Sign Language is the natural language used by Deaf people in Brazil to communicate between themselves and with the society, as well as it is part of culture and tradition. Providing access to communication, information and knowledge (creation) for the Deaf community are just some of the motivations for Brazilian Sign Language writing record. This paper shows some hypotheses for the low usage of computational tools for recording sign languages and proposes a new way to generate the graphic records in Brazilian Sign Language through the SignWriting System for assisting the Deaf individuals in the exercise of their full citizenship.
