Spelling errors made by people with dyslexia
Pages 293 - 322
Abstract
In this paper, we present a review of studies that have collected and annotated errors produced by people with dyslexia from corpora of written texts (six studies involving English, Spanish, German and French). Such resources are useful for studying the spelling difficulties of people with dyslexia. Results can be used for the design and development of assistive technologies. This paper also presents our contribution: a new study of errors from two corpora of typed texts written by French-speaking people with dyslexia. It details the methodology used to annotate the spelling errors extracted from these corpora and the analysis of these errors. The results of our study are compared to the results of the previous studies.
