Abstract

This article introduces the parallel sign language translation corpus, PaSCo1, developed as part of the BabelDr project, an automatic speech translation system for medical triage. PaSCo1 aims to make a set of medical data available in Swiss French Sign Language (LSF-CH) in the form of both videos signed by a human and their description in G-SiGML mark-up language. We describe the beginnings of the corpus as part of the BabelDr project, as well as the methodology used to create the videos and generate the G-SiGML language using the SiGLA platform. The resulting FAIR corpus comprises 2 031 medical questions and instructions in the form of videos and G-SiGML code.
