For that we need to make a media in the form of software to save the new terms as well as sign language. The media should also be accessible though many people (online). This way, if someone is having difficulty in finding a cue for a term, he can look for it on this media. From the results of tests performed, the application is able to enhance the understanding of the time three seconds faster than before using the app. On the usability and user acceptance testing, the application has largely met the expectations of the user.
