Computational Tools for Persian Language Learners
Page 1 of 6
This page contains information about existing computer tools that
can be used by Persian language teachers in the classroom or by Persian
language learners who are doing research, preparing reports, or doing
exercises. Most of these tools are freely available but we have also listed a
few tools that are in preparation and are not yet available to the public. The
latter have been included in this list to show the potential for Persian
language tools in the coming future.
This section includes information on:
Typing and Transcription
typing Persian, converting between scripts (Persian, Pinglish,
Tajik)
Using the
web for teaching: Online tools
dictionaries and lexicons, searching in Persian or in Pinglish, verb
conjugation, calendar converters, search trends analysis
Working
with a corpus (collection of texts)
corpus collection, word frequency lists, concordancers, utilizing a
corpus
Computational
linguistics: Higher-level computational applications
spell-checkers, machine translation, morphological analyzers,
taggers, multimedia
This information is based on a talk presented at the STARTALK
workshop for Teachers of Persian at the University of Pennsylvania,
Philadelphia, on July 16, 2010 by Dr. Karine Megerdoomian. More detailed
information on existing computational tools for Persian (not limited to
teaching applications) can be found on the Persian
Wiki site.
Disclaimer: The list of tools in this section is not
exhaustive and a number of important and relevant tools may have been missed.
This page is intended solely as an introduction to computational tools for
teachers of Persian. These pages are not intended as an endorsement for the
tools and are made available only for informational purposes.
