The main difficulty for the elaboration of a dictation system consists in modeling the errors and the associated explanations provided to the learner. On these bases, an experimental DICTOR system is being developed as an assistant tool to learn French language spelling. DICTOR includes an automatic checking tool based on a stochastic alignment algorithm and French written linguistic knowledge....

We have developed a method of improving and controlling the accuracy of automated continuous speech recognition through linguistic postprocessing. In this approach, an output from a speech recognitio n system is passed to a trainable Correction Box module which attempts to locate and repair any transcription errors. The Correction Box consists of a text alignment program, a correction-rule gene...

According to a Robert Wood Johnson study, nurses spend only 31% of their time in direct patient care. The American Academy of Nursing promotes making better use of nurses’ time by using technology, which could reduce activities that are not related to direct patient care. Because nurses spend greater than 30% of their time documenting, voice recognition technology (VRT), an underused strategy i...

<p>Since the era of learning to write by human beings, mistakes made in typing words have occupied a privileged place linguistic studies, integrating new disciplines into school curricula such as spelling and dictation. According exhaustive studies that we done field spellchecking errors Arabic texts, very few research works deal with typographical specifically caused insertion or missing...

To have a clearer idea of the problems students with dyslexia may face during their studies, we compared writings of 100 students with dyslexia and 100 age matched control students in higher education. The aim of this study was to compare the writing of young adults with dyslexia and young adults without dyslexia. The study was carried out in Belgium with writers of Dutch. First, we studied the...

The paper describes a distributed online speech-to-text system. The main features of the system are real-time speech recognition and full-duplex user experience, meaning that the partially recognized utterance is progressively displayed to the user during speaking. Other benefits include easy client-server communication protocol and system scalability to many concurrent user sessions. The paper...

Synthetic DNA is the linchpin of rapidly accelerating biotechnological era and perhaps most promising candidate for long-term digital data storage. Despite huge advances, manufacturing error-free at low cost high throughput remains challenging. Borrowing from well-established sequencing-by-synthesis technologies, we describe a new solution error correction.

As known to all, dictation method is an effective way to review and test one’s vocabulary. This paper introduces the theories that support dictation method and the effective strategies for applying it. Besides, this paper also explains how the teachers should do to help the students enhance enthusiasm and confidence for learning, stimulate learning motivation, reduce or eliminate their difficul...
