BACKGROUND Due to negligence, Persian (Iranian) traditional medicine has had a weak presence in the world of research for a long time. However, in recent years, a variety of activates by research and faculty centers have created awareness and a platform to introduce and promote Persian medicine to the world. The aim of this study is to present and analyze scientific achievements of Persian medi...

Objectives: In this research study, the effect of training phonological awareness skills on the improvement of auditory memory in students with spelling problems in third grade at primary schools in Sari City, Iran, was investigated.  Methods: The research method used in the study was quasi-experimental with pre-tests, post-tests, and a control group. The statistical population consisted ...

We compared the effectiveness of two spelling interventions: one focused on morphological structure and one emphasizing word meanings,, on spelling acquisition in French speaking children in 3 and 5 grades. The morphology intervention led to significantly greater improvement in spelling than the vocabulary intervention, especially for children in grade 5. To compare the long-term effects of the...

We compare a variety of strategies for incorporating spelling to create more robust voice-only speech interfaces. These strategies use different combinations of speaking the word, spelling the word, and spelling the word using a phonetic alphabet. For correcting a single recognition error, spelling the word or speaking and spelling the word reduced error rates substantially. Phonetic-spelling w...

In this paper building statistical language models for Persian language using a corpus and incorporating them in Persian continuous speech recognition (CSR) system are described. We used Persian Text Corpus for building the language models. First we preprocessed the texts of corpus by correcting the different orthography of words. Also, the number of POS tags was decreased by clustering POS tag...

The purpose of this study was to determine whether students with and without hearing loss (HL) differed in their spelling abilities and, specifically, in the underlying linguistic awareness skills that support spelling ability. Furthermore, we examined whether there were differences between the two groups in the relationship between reading and spelling. We assessed the spelling, word-level rea...

We introduce a new approach to spellchecking for languages with extreme phonetic irregularities. The spelling for such languages can be significantly improved if knowledge about pronunciation and sound becomes the central part of the spelling algorithm. However, given a weak phoneme-grapheme-correspondence the standard spelling algorithms, which are rule-based or editdistance-based, are severel...
