| # Edmon Sahakyan · Armenian speech & dubbing |
|
|
| I build open models for **Eastern Armenian (`hy`) speech**: recognition, synthesis, translation, and end-to-end **English → Armenian video dubbing** for TV and drama. |
|
|
| Every card on this profile reports how the numbers were measured, and checkpoints that are still experimental are labelled as experimental. |
|
|
| ## Current models |
|
|
| | Model | Task | Status | |
| |---|---|---| |
| | [speecht5_finetuned_voxpopuli_hy](https://huggingface.co/Edmon02/speecht5_finetuned_voxpopuli_hy) | Armenian TTS (SpeechT5, 2 speakers) | Main TTS checkpoint | |
| | [TTS_NB_2](https://huggingface.co/Edmon02/TTS_NB_2) · [TTS_NB_ONNX](https://huggingface.co/Edmon02/TTS_NB_ONNX) | Armenian TTS for training / ONNX | Active | |
| | [speecht5_finetuned_hy](https://huggingface.co/Edmon02/speecht5_finetuned_hy) | Armenian TTS (Common Voice) | Earlier checkpoint | |
| | [whisper-small-hy](https://huggingface.co/Edmon02/whisper-small-hy) | Armenian ASR | Experimental (validation WER ≈ 75%) | |
| | [marian-finetuned-kde4-en-to-hy](https://huggingface.co/Edmon02/marian-finetuned-kde4-en-to-hy) | English → Armenian MT (software domain) | Experimental | |
|
|
| **Data:** [HyVoxPopuli](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Edmon02/hyvoxpopuli) (Armenian speech) · **Demo:** [SpeechT5 Armenian TTS](https://huggingface.co/spaces/Edmon02/SpeechT5_hy) |
|
|
| ## Coming next: Armenian dubbing stack |
|
|
| From the [armenian-video-dubbing](https://github.com/Edmon02/armenian-video-dubbing) project. Release names and dates are not fixed yet. |
|
|
| | Planned release | What it does | Licence target | |
| |---|---|---| |
| | Armenian voice-cloning TTS | Fine-tune of an open multilingual TTS on Common Voice `hy-AM` (CC0) and FLEURS `hy_am` (CC-BY-4.0) | Commercial-friendly | |
| | Duration-aware EN → HY translation | Fits each Armenian line to the original timing (syllable budget) | Commercial-friendly | |
| | Armenian ASR adapter | Whisper LoRA for Armenian back-transcription and QA | Apache-2.0 / MIT base | |
| | Dubbing evaluation set | Public multi-speaker clips plus scoring notebook (WER, chrF++, COMET, SECS, accent leakage, LSE-C/D) | Per-source licences | |
|
|
| Each release will ship with a reproducible score from the [ablation notebook](https://github.com/Edmon02/armenian-video-dubbing/blob/main/notebooks/colab_dubbing_ablation.ipynb), a licence statement covering every training source, and voice-cloning consent rules. |
|
|
| ## Principles |
|
|
| - **Measured, not claimed.** Metrics come from public test sets with a script anyone can rerun. |
| - **Licences are explicit.** Non-commercial components are marked and never used in a commercial release. |
| - **Consent first.** Voice cloning is only for speakers who agreed to it, and dubbed output is watermarked. |
