Dictation can be considered as a transcription exercise of an utterance. 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 the French language spelling. DICTOR includes an automatic checking tool based...

A written single word spelling to dictation test and a single word reading test were given to 68 severe-profoundly oral deaf 10-11-year-old children and 20 hearing children with a diagnosis of dyslexia. The literacy scores of the deaf children and the hearing children with dyslexia were lower than expected for children of their age and did not differ from each other. Three quarters of the spell...

The ability to perform revisions targeting the content of text is important for quality improvement, and it hypothesized that lower-level transcription processes need be automatized in order free up capacity higher-level such as revision. However, people with reading writing difficulties due underlying decoding spelling, process rarely because their troubles spelling. One possible way circumven...

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....
