Issues of developing software for automating the conduct and verification of dictations

Keywords: dictation, spelling, language synthesizer, text comparison automation, syntax check

Abstract

Previously, dictations were an integral part of any language learning and learning for better memorization of words and spelling. But at this stage of life, due to various external reasons, education is often forced to be remote. Under these conditions, it became more difficult to carry out this type of work, so writing dictations almost ceased to exist, although this is a very effective form of work. The development of information technology makes it possible to create software for automating the process of conducting dictations. The article presents an analysis of publications in the field of language synthesis methods and the search for similarities between texts. A description of the prototype of the program is presented, which performs the pronunciation of the text and the subsequent verification of the text typed by the user with the original one. The article presents the results of testing the program for different types of errors.
