- What it is
- NVIDIA's model card for Parakeet TDT 0.6B v3, read from its raw README. It gives word error rate per language on FLEURS, Multilingual LibriSpeech and CoVoST 2, the English Open ASR Leaderboard datasets, and noise robustness at four signal-to-noise ratios.
- How much weight it carries
- Self-reported by NVIDIA, the model developer. The card uses its own text normalization and decoding, so its figures are not directly comparable with other vendors' full-transcript scores. Compare only within the same test set.
