ABOUT US

Kurdish Speech is a research and business group working on natural language processing technologies for Kurdish language. Kurdish is a member of the Indo-Iranian branch of Indo-European languages spoken by over 40 million people mainly in Iraq, Turkey, Iran, Syria, Armenia, and Azerbaijan. Despite its diversity of dialects, Kurdish belongs to low-resourced languages in computational linguistics. Kurdish Speech conducts continuous research to develop computational resources, models, and real-world NLP applications.

Knowledge Enterprise

Kurdish Speech is a knowledge-based enterprise founded and managed by experts in Artificial Intelligence, Computer Engineering, and Computational Linguistics.

Language Data & Resources

A part from developing applications for Kurdish language, Kurdish Speech is working to provide language data and resources for Computer Speech and Language Processing of Kurdish language. Our activities to that end include, but are not limited to, providing text corpus, speech corpus, WordNet, lexicon and parallel corpora.

Speech Recognition & Tagging

Kurdish language speech data and its related resources like tags are of most important language resources which are required for NLP research and applications such as automatic speech recognition, speaker recognition, etc. In this project, speech data for Kurdish language (Central Kurdish) was designed and collected so that it could be used in automatic speech recognition, speaker recognition, phonology researches, dialect analysis, etc. So far, approximately 30 hours of speech has been recorded and transcribed in order to produce this corpus.

Common questions regarding speech synthesis, recognition, and editing

What is Text to Speech (TTS)?

Realistic Kurdish Text to Speech. TTS stands for Text-to-Speech. It is a technology that converts written text into spoken words. TTS systems take input text and use synthetic voices to produce spoken audio. These systems are widely used in accessibility features, automated customer service, navigation systems, and audiobook generation.

What is Speech to Text (ASR)?

Automatic Speech Recognition for Central Kurdish. ASR converts spoken language into written text (STT). ASR systems analyze audio input and transcribe it into textual output, making it possible to convert spoken words into a digital format that can be processed, stored, or analyzed by computers.

What is AsoSpell?

Precise and Fast for Editing Kurdish Texts. Flags spelling errors and makes suggestions for correction, flags punctuation errors and fixes them at once, detects various spellings of words, and suggests the unified standard form.
