| Abstract(in English) | Finger braille is one of the communication methods for the deaf blind. Finger braille seems to be the most suitable medium for real-time communication by its speed and accuracy of transmitting characters. We hypothesize that the prosody information exists in the strength and time structure of finger braille typing. in this study, we measured the surface electromyography of finger movement to analyze the typing strength and time structure of finger braille. We found that the typing strength increases, and the time duration extends at the end of a phrase. Also the time duration extends, and the typing strength increases at the end of a prominent phrase. The results show the possibility that the strength and time structure of finger braill reflect the sentence structure and prominent phrase. The results are expected to apply the finger braille output and enhance the understanding of finger braille. |
