Elar will create a technological platform for Total Dictation in Moscow and Novosibirsk

2021: Plans to create a technology platform for Moscow and Novosibirsk

On April 7, 2021, ELAR Corporation announced that it would become a partner in the Total Dictation international educational action and create a technological platform for Moscow and Novosibirsk, where participants will write works not only in Russian, but also in English at more than 300 sites.

Thanks to the digital solutions of the ELAR corporation, participants from Moscow and Novosibirsk will be able to see in their personal account on the Total Dictation website not only the results of checking their literacy, but also an electronic copy of a form checked by philologists with the text of the dictation.

For the third year in a row, ELAR Corporation joins the Total Dictation as a partner and takes on the tasks of digitizing the work of our participants, "says Olga Rebkovets, director of the Total Dictation Foundation for the Support of Linguistic Culture of Citizens . - Modern projects require modern solutions, and ELAR helps us to provide participants with the opportunity not only to see the results of the dictation, but also to conduct an analysis, to do work on errors by accessing an electronic copy of their form.

The headquarters of Yandex, FSIN institutions, Timchenko Foundation, Domodedovo Airport, Tsaritsyno Museum-Reserve, the site of the Presidential Grant Fund, MGIMO, an electric bus and more than 270 sites in the capital, the work from which after verification will be delivered to the ELAR Digitization Center for scanning and indexing data. A feature of 2021 will be the opportunity to test your knowledge of not only Russian, but also English. For example, Russian musician Noize MS, TV presenter Elena Hanga and others will dictate in English in Moscow.

According to the already developed technology, the forms of both Russian and English works will go through several stages in the process of digitization with quality control on each of them before being uploaded to personal offices on the site of the educational project.

The first step is to directly scan the forms, then there is the responsible and painstaking stage of indexing the received symbols, "comments Larisa Gudina, leading expert at the ELAR production department. - Two independent operators enter the data of each operation into the system, followed by a final check. Thus, the possibility of any error, inaccuracy is reduced to zero probability.

When the database with the results of the work and PDF files is formed and sorted into folders corresponding to the names of the dictation sites, the organizers of the educational campaign will be able to upload all the necessary information and electronic copies to the personal rooms of the participants.

Participants from Novosibirsk will write dictation in the largest universities, libraries and even in the Open Air Museum in Akademgorodok. The organizers themselves will scan the work forms and send electronic copies to ELAR specialists, which will be processed and indexed for further download to the Total Dictation website.

We are glad that ELAR solutions for the third year have simplified and brought to a higher level of quality the technical implementation of the project and the system for providing results, "says Artem Vartanyan, head of the marketing department of ELAR Corporation. - Digital technologies are becoming an integral part, including educational and educational activities, and the development of a technology platform for Total Dictation is one of the striking and successful examples of using IT tools.

2020: Providing a technology platform for Total Dictation in Moscow and Novosibirsk

On October 21, 2020, ELAR Corporation announced that for the second year in a row it becomes a partner of the Total Dictation and creates a technological platform for the largest cities holding an educational action - Moscow and Novosibirsk. Thanks to the solutions of ELAR, participants in the offline dictation and format# Pishemdom will be able to evaluate their work in their personal account on the project website, having access to their electronic copies, as well as to accurate results.

In 2020, ELAR Corporation joined the Total Dictation as a partner for the second time and fully assumed the task of scanning and digitizing the work of the participants. Dictation written on October 17 in Novosibirsk and Moscow will be scanned and indexed. Seeing your work is an important opportunity for our participants, who not only receive an assessment, but can analyze their results and do a kind of work on errors, says Olga Rebkovets, director of the fund for supporting the language culture of citizens "Total Dictation"

In 2020, the Total Dictation was held in three formats - online, in the format# pisemdom (participants wrote the dictation with special pens on company forms and handed over work to city check points) and in the traditional - at various venues. After work from 47 Moscow sites, including the museums of Moscow City, VDNKh, Tsaritsyno, will be checked by the philologists of the Total Dictation, paper forms with exhibited grades, as well as "independent" works of the participants of the format# pishemdom, will be delivered to the ELAR production for digitization.

The process consists of several important steps, at each of which a thorough quality control is carried out. After scanning the forms directly, the obtained symbols go to the indexing stage - the data of each work are entered by two independent operators, after which they are sent for final verification, thus the number of possible mismatches is reduced to zero, comments Larisa Gudina, lead expert at ELAR Production Management

Created database with the results of the work and PDF Files sorted by folders, each of which refers to a specific site for writing a dictation, will be transferred to the organizers of the action for further download into the personal offices of the participants of the Total Dictation. The works of participants from Novosibirsk, which were written in large universities, libraries and even in the city hall, where the head of Novosibirsk wrote the dictation, will be scanned by the organizers and sent in the form of electronic copies to ELAR specialists for indexing and further processing.

Thanks to the solutions of ELAR, the technical implementation of the project was simplified, and the Total Dictation for the second year in a row demonstrates a new level of providing assessments and results. The range of applications of modern IT tools is very wide, and the creation of a technological platform for an educational action is a vivid proof of this. Understanding the high value of the action for its participants, we tried to provide the organizers with the fastest and highest quality result, notes Artem Vartanyan, Head of Marketing Department of ELAR Corporation

2019

Prompt processing of dictation results using the BClaud cloud

On May 14, 2019, it became known that the company, SBKlaud Russian the platform developer cloudy , and the digitization leader, the corporation ELAR , combined technological capabilities for the operational processing of the work of the Total Dictation participants -2019. Modern technologies for streaming digitization data storage and in the cloud were first used to verify works and publish results, and project participants got the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the verified works through: Internet electronic copies of dictation after verification were exported to personal user accounts on the Total Dictation website.

26,602 forms of work from the largest sites of the international educational campaign - Moscow and Novosibirsk were digitized using ELAR solutions and loaded into cloud storage on the SBClaud platform, deployed in the highly secure data center "TrastInfo" (managed by Servionica, AiTeko Group) for further placement in the personal offices of the project participants on the site. The forms of participants from Moscow with the rated were delivered from the Total Dictation headquarters to the ELAR production site for scanning and indexing. The resulting electronic array and results database uploaded to the SBClaud cloud were provided to the organizers through secure high-speed access. The use of these solutions made it possible to simplify and accelerate the work of volunteers responsible for uploading the results to the Total Dictation website.

author '= Yaroslav Farobin, Director, Presale Department, SBClaud ' Total dictation is becoming increasingly large-scale and technological. In 2019, in addition to cloud hosting of the site, we proposed the concept of a single cloud repository of work on the SBClaud platform. This approach made it possible to provide volunteers with access to a single database of works created by ELAR, to conduct a responsible stage of summing up the Total Dictation much faster and to minimize the risks of loss data based on the results of the action.

A longer technological path was made by the results of the "Total Dictation" from Novosibirsk: from the "cloud" to ELAR and back. Tested according to the same principle as in Moscow, the dictation of Novosibirsk participants was scanned locally and loaded into the SBClaud cloud storage, to which secure access was provided to ELAR operators.

author '= Zhanna Sinitsyna, Head of External Communications Department, ELAR ' The creation of a technology platform together with SBClaud is a vivid example of how important IT tools are in the educational sphere and how wide their range of applications is. Thanks to our expertise and solutions, the technical implementation of the project was simplified and Total Dictation reached a higher level of providing assessments. Given the importance of the educational action for its participants, we tried to provide the organizers with the fastest and highest quality result.

Providing a technology platform for Total Dictation in Moscow and Novosibirsk

On April 11, 2019, Elar announced the provision of a technological platform for the largest cities holding the Total Dictation - Moscow and Novosibirsk, where a total of 30 thousand participants will write the text at five hundred sites. Now the participants who wrote the dictation in Moscow and Novosibirsk will not only be able to see the number of errors in their personal account on the official website of the project, but also the work itself, which, according to the organizers, is fundamentally new and important for achieving the main educational mission of the project.

Partnership with the largest To Europe digitization production will solve one of the main tasks of the last stage of the action - to increase the speed of processing results and improve the quality of work evaluation, reducing almost to a minimum human factor. Not only will it simplify the technical organization of the process and reduce the processing time of information, but also the risk of input errors data will be reduced to zero.

author '= Olga Rebkovets ' In the past, volunteers who entered data manually could get tired, be mistaken, for example, when typing a participant's name, after which the project participant could no longer find his results in the system, he was forced to come personally to the TD headquarters and the search was carried out on the spot. No one could rule out the human factor.

After double verification of each work and presentation of the results on April 15, more than 20,000 thousand works from 400 sites of the capital, including even such as the Moscow Zoo, etc., Subway Ostankino will be delivered to the Corporation Scanning Center. About 10,000 more works from Novosibirsk - loaded on. cloudy server

author '= Zhanna Sinitsyna, Head of External Communications Department, ELAR ' The process will be divided into separate pipeline operations. During the digitization and indexing stages, the entire process is controlled by the production system, an electronic route sheet is maintained, which completely eliminates the possibility of confusion and errors related to the "human factor," despite the fact that the work is carried out by people. A quality control system is provided at each stage. Handwriting recognition is a time-consuming process, so our technologies and developments, the staff of professional operators, make this type of work as accurate, fast and structured as possible.

After scanning and processing the forms of the participants of the Total Dictation, the organizers will be given electronic copies sorted by folders, each of which refers to the place of writing the dictation - the site, and the database where the results of the work will be presented for download to the personal offices of users on the project website.

It was essential for us to trust professionals of a high level and impeccable reputation. ELAR Corporation gives us full confidence in the success of the critical phase of the project. Our cooperation and the transition to digitization and indexing of results is not only an opportunity to expand the educational mission, to give people to test themselves, draw conclusions, but also an opportunity for us, the organizers of the TD, to demonstrate great competent work.
