About project
Dilmanc is ongoing research project based on creation and application of linguistic technologies for Azerbaijan language. The main directions of scientific researches of project are the following:
- Creation of the translation systems from Azerbaijani into other languages and vice versa
- Creation of the speech recognition system for Azerbaijani language
- Creation of the text-to-speech system for Azerbaijani language
- Creation of the system which is able to translate telephone conversions from Azerbaijani language into other languages and vice versa
The preparation of software for the practical use of these technologies is the main purpose of the project.
The history of the project
The problem of possibility of automation of translation process from Azerbaijani into other languages and vice versa, were raised by academician Ali Abbasov at the beginning of 2003 and and under his leadership were started the researchs on creation of machine translation system. During this period, the specific modeling method which allows to automatize translation process from Azerbaijani to other languages and vice versa has been created. So creation of the Azerbaijan-English machine translation system has been started on the basis of this method. As the logical continuation of these works The Ministry of Communications and Information Technologies of Azerbaijan Republic started the establishment of the project.
Project achievements
The project has achieved significant practical results on the directions of scientific researches and currently, activities on improving their quality are continued:
The technologies that have been developed for Azerbaijani language are the following:
- Text-to-speech system for Azerbaijani language has been devised and it is planned to put system into use
- Translation system on the directions of the Azerbaijani-Russian and Russian-Azerbaijani has been devised and it is planned to put system into use in near future
- Speech recognition system for Azerbaijani language has been devised and the works underway to improve the quality of system
- Text-to-speech system for Azerbaijani language has been devised and it is planned to put system into use
- The works underway to improve the quality of the system that is able to translate phone conversation from Azerbaijani into other languages and vice versa
Dilmanc project has gained many achievements and all of these significant achievements have been introduced in scientific conferences and published in prestigious scientific journals go European Association for Machine Translation.

Director of project Dilmanc A.Fatullayev has been awarded the honorary title of "Honored Engineer" by president I. Aliyev.link
The biography of the project member Rauf Fatullayev has been included in "Marquis Who's Who in Science and Engineering".link
The technologies of the project has been successfully presented in many international exhibitions. These technologies were presented to many influential government officials, representatives of international organizations, company leaders and other guests got familiar with these technologies in the exhibitions as ITU Telecom World (Switzerland), CeBIT (Germany), CeBIT Bilishim (Turkey), Svyaz Ekspokomm (Russia), Bakutel (Baku). There has been Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and his spouse Mrs. Aliyeva, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, Chairman of the International Telecommunication Union Hamadun Ture and others between these persons.
