Independent AI Research Project

Armenian ASR

An independent research project focused on developing a high-quality automatic speech recognition system for the Armenian language.

01 / Project Overview

Advancing spoken language technology for Armenian.

Armenian ASR is an ongoing research initiative focused on advancing Armenian speech recognition technology. Operating independently of commercial pressure, the project aims to develop high-fidelity acoustic processing models configured for Armenian speech patterns, dialects, and phonology.

Status: Research & Training Preparation

This project is currently in the active research and training preparation stage. We do not claim to have a finished model or state-of-the-art benchmark performances. Our singular objective is to build a high-performance Armenian speech recognition model that is robust, open, and accessible.

02 / Training Corpus

8000+ Hoursof Armenian Speech

A large-scale curated speech collection prepared for automatic speech recognition research.

03 / Research Roadmap

Current Progress

Tracking our milestones from initial collection to community release.

Dataset Collection

Completed

04 / Core Pillars

Project Goals

The fundamental objectives guiding our research and engineering decisions.

Accurate Armenian speech recognition

Developing robust acoustic models that accurately transcribe spoken Armenian, accommodating diverse age groups, accents, and recording conditions.

Modern AI research

Applying state-of-the-art deep learning architectures, transformer networks, and self-supervised learning recipes to speech recognition.

Speech technology for Armenian

Building foundational tools and open-source models that expand the digital presence and technical capabilities of the Armenian language.

Future open research

Sharing pre-trained models, curated datasets, and research findings openly to foster collaboration among global AI researchers.

Accessibility

Making advanced voice-controlled technology, transcriptions, and digital assistants accessible to all Armenian speakers worldwide.

Language preservation through AI

Using machine learning to document, transcribe, and preserve spoken dialects, oral histories, and linguistic heritage of the Armenian language.
