In this research, we have investigated about prosodic features of Farsi (Persian) language and quantified major stress rules and some intonation rules for speech synthesis purpose. The research is mostly concentrated on pitch variations and then on durational changes. We have implemented the proposed simplified prosodic rules using a Klatt formant synthesizer, specially modified for Farsi phone...

Tajik Persian is a dialect of Persian spoken primarily in Tajikistan and written with a modified Cyrillic alphabet. Iranian Persian, or Farsi, as it is natively called, is the lingua franca of Iran and is written with the Persian alphabet, a modified Arabic script. Although the spoken versions of Tajik and Farsi are mutually intelligible to educated speakers of both languages, the difference be...

BACKGROUND Given the importance of regular physical activity, it is crucial to evaluate the factors favoring participation in physical activity. We aimed to report the psychometric analysis of the Farsi version of the Physical Activity and Leisure Motivation Scale (PALMS). METHODS The Farsi version of PALMS was completed by 406 healthy adult individuals to test its factor structure and concur...

This paper will emphasize the necessity of having alternative man-machine interfaces to the already established keyboard and mouse, speciically for people residing in developing countries. An on-line system is presented for recognizing handwritten Farsi (Persian) and Arabic digits. This recognition scheme is based on statistical techniques which will be brieey explained. Then, the grounds will ...

In this paper,we report on our ongoing research for the development of a Unicode-based search engine for Farsi. The activities consist of an I/O subsystem, Farsi stemmer, test collection preparation, and the search engine itself. This engine is intended to be independent of the operating system platform using no special hardware or software. Weare further planning to tune the system for other l...

Handwritten character recognition is one of the focused areas of research in the field of Pattern Recognition. In this paper, a hybrid model of rough neural network has been developed for recognizing isolated Arabic/Farsi digital characters. It solves the neural network problems; proneness to overfitting, and the empirical nature of model development using rough sets and the dissimilarity analy...

Writer identification recently has been studied and it has a wide variety of applications. Most studies are based on English documents with the assumption that the written text is fixed (text-dependent methods) and no research has been reported on Farsi or Arabic documents. In this paper, we have proposed a method for off-line writer identification based on Farsi handwriting, which is text-inde...
