App operator has “preview screen” of how text appears on external output. 

What is WER (Word Error Rate)?

Word Error Rate (WER) is a metric used to evaluate the accuracy of automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems. It measures the number of errors in the transcription produced by the ASR system compared to a reference transcription

With large model VoxScreen provides around 5.6% WER rate.

We have tested the modesl using live event recordings and accurary can reach up to 95-98%.

Major cloud providers achieve WER smaller than 25%, while 15% or less is more acceptable by now

General Benchmarks:

  • Commercial ASR Systems: High-quality commercial ASR systems from major tech companies (like Google, Microsoft, IBM, and Amazon) typically achieve WERs in the range of 5% to 10% for clear, well-spoken audio in ideal conditions.
  • State-of-the-Art Models: The best state-of-the-art models in controlled environments, such as those used in research and competitions, can achieve WERs as low as 2% to 4%.
  • Conversational Speech: For more challenging conditions, such as conversational speech with background noise, overlapping speakers, or strong accents, a WER below 15% to 20% is considered very good.
