Open the original- What it measures
- FLEURS is a multilingual benchmark of read speech. The table sits in the same paper, so the systems were compared on the same test.
- What it does not show
- One paper's runs under its own text normalization and decoding, so compare systems within this table, not with other papers' numbers. The paper gives no date per row. The paper names this system "ElevenLabs Scribe" in Table 3 and "Scribe" in Tables 4 to 6; this row treats them as one system.
