Abstract
The Arabic poetry meter identification system and method produces coded Al-Khalyli transcriptions of Arabic poetry. The meters (Wazn, Awzan being forms of the Arabic poems units Bayt, Abyate) are identified. A spoken or written poem is accepted as input. A coded transcription of the poetry pattern forms is produced from input processing. The system identifies and distinguishes between proper spoken poetic meter and improper poetic meter. Error in the poem meters (Bahr, Buhur) and the ending rhyme pattern, “Qafiya” are detected and verified. The system accepts user selection of a desired poem meter and then interactively aids the user in the composition of poetry in the selected meter, suggesting alternative words and word groups that follow the desired poem pattern and dactyl components. The system can be in a stand-alone device or integrated with other computing devices.

20. A computer software product that includes a non-transitory computer storage medium readable by a processor, the non-transitory computer storage medium having stored thereon a set of instructions for performing poetry meter identification, the instructions comprising:
-
(a) a first set of instructions which, when loaded into main memory and executed by the processor, causes the processor to accept entry of a poem from a user in the form of spoken audio voice input; (b) a second set of instructions which, when loaded into main memory and executed by the processor, causes the processor to record the spoken audio voice input; (c) a third set of instructions which, when loaded into main memory and executed by the processor, causes the processor to segment the spoken audio voice input into a sequence of basic sound signal classes; (d) a fourth set of instructions which, when loaded into main memory and executed by the processor, causes the processor to automatically identify at least one meter form of the poem entry; (e) a fifth set of instructions which, when loaded into main memory and executed by the processor, causes the processor to provide the user a coded transcription of the at least one meter form of the poem; (f) a sixth set of instructions which, when loaded into main memory and executed by the processor, causes the processor to distinguish between proper spoken poetic meter and improper poetic meter of the poem; (g) a seventh set of instructions which, when loaded into main memory and executed by the processor, causes the processor to notify the user of poem meter errors; and (h) an eighth set of instructions which, when loaded into main memory and executed by the processor, causes the processor to notify the user of ending rhyme pattern errors.
