Open the original- What it measures
- Non-streaming AA-WER v2 index: AA-AgentTalk (50 percent), VoxPopuli-Cleaned-AA (25 percent) and Earnings22-Cleaned-AA (25 percent), about 8 hours of audio. Each row is the provider's hosted endpoint for the model.
- What it does not show
- AA-WER is an index, not a single public test set, and one of its datasets is proprietary. The page does not name a language for the index; the v2.0 article builds its text normalizer on Whisper's English normalizer. Figures change as the leaderboard updates.
