Abstract

This research paper introduces "Word Sri," an inventive voice-based web application designed to enhance written Sinhala communication and originality. The application incorporates features such as a plagiarism checker, grammar checker, voice-activated punctuation, and intuitive voice commands in an effort to accommodate a diverse user base, including individuals with disabilities, language learners, writers, journalists, students, and professionals. The first aspect of the paper explores the creation of a user-friendly Sinhala Grammar Checker with Fix Sentences & Punctuation, addressing the dearth of effective language tools for grammar, punctuation, and orthography correction. Using a comprehensive analysis of Sinhala language components, literature, and a corpus of text data, the model provides students, academicians, and professionals with real-time error feedback and correction. The second aspect highlights the distinctive characteristics of the "Word Sri" application, emphasizing its usefulness for voice-based Sinhala content creation. Notably, the application includes a cutting-edge Sinhala plagiarism analyzer that uses machine learning algorithms, synonym and paraphrase detection to improve the originality of content. This research represents a significant advancement in Sinhala language technology, as it provides a unified platform for efficient voice-based typing, accurate grammar checks, and plagiarism detection, thereby facilitating effective written communication and originality in Sinhala for global users.
