The Research & Development Department at Ellil is proud to introduce Yalil, a groundbreaking research platform designed to align Arabic audio-text data alongside 1,106 other languages. Built on top of an optimized MMS-FA (Multilingual Forced Alignment) library, Yalil offers researchers and developers an open, universal infrastructure for advancing studies in speech technologies, natural language processing, and human–machine interaction.
A Platform for Research, Not for Profit
Yalil is a non-commercial initiative. Access to the platform is completely free, and its primary purpose is to accelerate global research in multilingual speech alignment and language technologies. The only request we make is that those who use Yalil in their work cite and acknowledge the project. This ensures transparency, recognition, and the collective growth of the scientific community.
