Automatic speech correction: A step to speech recognition for people with disabilities

Abstract

This work consists on achieve an automatic correction system for Arabic continuous speech. This system will be combined by an ASR system for disabled people. For this work, we built a lexicon of 4.000.000 Arabic words through which decides if a word is correct or not. A corpus of Arabic texts is also required to provide a standard summarizing the appearance rate of each two-letter (two-phoneme) in the Arabic language. The results of our system were encouraging and present an advantage to other work for people with articulatory disabilities.
