Apparatus capable of processing sign language information
Inputted sign language word labels and editing items such as speeds and positions of moving portions for specifying manual signs and/or sign gestures corresponding to the respective sign language word labels are displayed on an editing screen. These editing items are modified by the user to add non-language information such as emphasis/feeling information to the contents of communication, thereby generating modified sign language animation information data including the inputted sign language word label string having the added non-language information. For communication or interaction, the non-language information is extracted from the modified sign language animation information data and stored into a memory with the inputted sign language word label string. When a hearing impaired person communicates or interacts with another person through text, the user can emphasize the contents of communication or show the user's feeling for the contents of communication to the other person.
