In this paper, we propose a three-phase text error correction model consisting of a word spacing error correction phase, a syllablebased spelling error correction phase, and a word-based spelling error correction phase. In order to reduce the text error correction complexity, the proposed model corrects text errors step by step. With the aim of correcting word spacing errors, spelling errors, a...

Currently popular systems for classification of spelling words or errors emphasize the learning of phoneme-grapheme correspondences and memorization of irregular words, but do not take into account the morphophonemic nature of the English language. This study is based on the premise that knowledge of the morphological rules of derivational morphology is acquired developmentally and is related t...

In opaque orthographies knowledge of morphological information helps in achieving reading and spelling accuracy. In transparent orthographies with regular print-to-sound correspondences, such as Italian, the mappings of orthography onto phonology and phonology onto orthography are in principle sufficient to read and spell most words. The present study aimed to investigate the role of morphology...

A persistent problem with personal digital assistants (PDAs) is the difficulty of entering data into the devices. The best current solutions to the problem are small soft keyboards and constrained handwriting recognizers. Another solution is use of speech. PDAs do not yet have the power to support full speech dictation, but they do have sufficient power to support voice spelling. Voice-spelling...

OBJECTIVE Several studies have demonstrated a genetic component for dyslexia. However, both segregation and linkage analyses show contradictory results pointing at the necessity of an optimal ascertainment scheme for molecular genetic studies. Previously, we have argued that the single proband sib pair design (SPSP) would be optimal. The aims of this paper therefore are to demonstrate the pract...

In this paper is described a data-driven algorithm for the functionally correct spelling of MIDI pitch values in terms of Western musical notation. Input is in the form of MIDI files containing accurate pitch and rhythmic information with corresponding ground-truth spelling information for training and evaluation. The algorithm recovers harmonic information from the MIDI data and spells pitches...
