Hong Kong Sign Language Corpus

The Hong Kong Sign Language Corpus (HKSL Corpus) is a collection of videos from Deaf signers in Hong Kong. The data are collected by the Centre for Sign Linguistics and Deaf Studies (CSLDS) in a Deaf and hearing researchers collaboration.

Recordings are made in a studio with multiple synchronized video cameras. Signers sit in front of a blue background.

More data and functions are planned for the feature.
