Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study examined the ideal way of easy-to-read scrolling display statements for the hearing impaired by taking guide displays used at transport facilities as a case, and suggested switching to the word order keeping a subject and a predicate closer and rewriting to more direct expression. And then, after experimenting and investigating by questionnaire on those effectiveness, at the experiment, we had many rewriting methods unable to confirm significant effects. However, many of the methods received support in the questionnaire. Moreover, we could obtain the result suggesting that static display is easier for them to read a whole sentence than scrolling display.
