GlossLexer is a multi-user sign language lexical database integrating digital video that has been designed to support the compilation process for specialist dictionaries from data collection to production. Sign entries are identified by HamNoSys notations as well as glosses, but the user always has immediate access to video clips showing the signs as uttered by the informants.
