A language that
speaks again
Ana-Yurt™ AI is the working journal of one long road: from a plain dictionary to a voice assistant you can talk to in Crimean Tatar. This site holds the audio — what the machine can already read aloud and hear — and short notes on how the work is going. The long-form articles of the series are published on ana-yurt.com.

How the machine learned to hear: the companion to the second article
The exam before the training: 34.6 % of words wrong, four audiobooks that sat in the material twice, an hour and a half of fine-tuning on a home GPU — and 17.0 % at the end. With the transcripts, lined up side by side.
