• Abstract: Homophones present a significant challenge to authors in any languages due to their similarities of pronunciations but different meanings and spellings. This issue is particularly pronounced in the Khmer language, rich in homophones due to its complex structure and extensive character set. This research aims to address the difficulties faced by Khmer authors when using homophones in their writing and proposes potential solutions based on an extensive literature review and survey analysis. A survey of 108 Khmer native speakers, including students, employees, and professionals, revealed that many frequently encounter challenges with homophones in their writing, often struggling to choose the correct word based on context. The survey also highlighted the absence of effective tools to address homophone errors in Khmer, which complicates the writing process. Additionally, a review of existing studies on spelling correction in other languages, such as English, Azerbaijani, and Bangla, identified a lack of research focused specifically on homophones, particularly in the Khmer language. In summary, this research highlights the necessity for a specialized tool to address Khmer homophone errors. By bridging current gaps in research and available resources, such a tool would enhance the confidence and accuracy of Khmer authors in their writing, thereby contributing to the enrichment and preservation of the language. Continued efforts in this domain are essential for ensuring that Khmer can leverage advancements in technology and linguistics effectively.

  Homophone characters are common in tonal syllable-based languages, such as Mandarin and Cantonese. This paper presents a novel homophone extension method to integrate human knowledge of the homophone lexicon into the beam search decoding process. We also propose an automatic unified writing method to merge the variants of Cantonese characters.

  Multiple orders of characters and different spelling realizations of words impose a constraint on Khmer word search functionality. Spelling mistakes are common since robust spellcheckers are not commonly available across the input device platforms. The proposed solutions include character order normalization, grapheme and phoneme-based spellcheckers, and Khmer word semantic model.

To evaluate in a challenging real-world scenario, we curate phone recognition datasets for Bukusu and Saamia, two varieties of the Luhya language cluster of western Kenya and eastern Uganda. We find that fine-tuning of Allosaurus, even with just 100 utterances, leads to significant improvements in phone error rates.

Such diacritics are often omitted in written text, increasing the number of possible pronunciations and meanings for a word. We use Arabic as a case study since it has sufficient data resources for tasks that we consider in our joint modeling.
