Spelling behavior of technological training apprentices at the CIES SENA Center using OCR technology

Abstract

The current world demands technological changes that make people improve their academic environment and facilitate their learning tasks, this leads to carry out a research process that strengthens the development of handwriting and spelling through the benefits of a technological accessory that enables this task and identifies in a pleasant and effective way the spelling mistakes that day by day are presented without a rectification mechanism and therefore become a bad habit. Thanks to this eventuality, it was possible to demonstrate through the analysis and compilation of the dictation tests executed to the trainees of some selected formations the faults in the correct method of writing. Given the statistics obtained from the dictation test, the urgent need to propose a gadget or device that facilitates the correction of these shortcomings was investigated. Similarly, a minimum number of characters per learner was determined by means of OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology. It is inferred the need to design and implement an emerging technology device supported by ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) to improve and correct these two aspects through the interaction of the technological artifact with the user and thus achieve a better writing and correct spelling in a simple and practical way. In this article we will present the different references and research carried out by various authors, taking some relevant points for this research work. It will also show the progress of the research in terms of the analysis of the information gathered through the writing and spelling tests applied to some adult apprentices at the SENA CIES Center CIES Barrio Pescadero in the city of Cúcuta, department of Norte de Santander.
