Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to assist the students who are deaf or hard of hearing in learning through notetake service. Such students in higher education face difficulties in finding the notetakers who have academic expertise. Orange Dictionary, an interactive web-database system, was developed for easy learning and confirmation of technical terms for notetakers. Up-to-date technical terms registered on Orange Dictionary are freely browsed and free dictionary-files can be made by collaborative works of users. These files are downloaded by all users and assist notetakers in writing and typing. We examined the usability of the Orange Dictionary site to 10 users and the results showed that general users are able to use the Orange Dictionary system with ease.
