The forum “Digital Youth of Central Asia” is continuing. Participants are busy doing and attending different presentations. Participants from Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan were very active in the beginning of the day and have already done their presentations on blogging, micro-blogging/video-blogging, PR and new media, and others.
Participants from Tajikistan are beginning their presentations. At the moment, we are in a big conference hall and an IT specialist from Dushanbe is presenting his software program that reads Tajik text, i.e. voices it. As he explains, his program is created not on “letter-reading” software, but on “syllable-reading” one.
At the moment, we have found and coded 3259 syllables that we found in 3800 pages of text… We have also discovered that 148 syllables make 75% of Tajik language, 418 syllables make 90% of the language, from 684 to 3259 syllables have only 5% share… This is also a very valuable data for linguists.
The program also reads texts in Russian, but with Tajik accent :)
The IT specialist also says that they have created a software program for tajik-russian and russian-tajik disctiories, and working on integration of voicing program with dictionaries.
