Outline of Final Research Achievements	We developed a captioning support system for hearing impaired using tablet devices. It is difficult for hearing impaired to recognize the caption using voice recognition software, because of its conversion error. Our system can correct the error by hearing people with rewriting image using a tablet device. Hearing impaired can also point out the error which he cannot understand the meaning. The participants can attend the meeting by their collaboration.
