Accuracy is THE definitive benchmark of quality for speech technology 🎯 Without it, you lose trust in your transcription, and any process built with it might be susceptible to compounding errors. More errors = less trust Fewer errors = more trust, more quality, more value. But don't just take our word for it. @ArtificialAnlys, an independent third party conducting benchmarks on AI systems, has independently assessed all leading speech vendors. And their latest results reveal.... .... .... Speechmatics is the definitive market leader on accuracy, with the lowest WER available🥇🥇🥇 When close enough isn't good enough - choose @Speeechmatics Check out the full breakdown 👇🔗 artificialanalysis.ai/speech…
Congratulations to @Speechmatics on setting a new record in our Word Error Rate benchmark for Speech to Text models! Speechmatics’ Enhanced model has achieved a Word Error Rate of 6.5%, the best result yet among the models we test. Accuracy is most important for use-cases involving audio that might be noisy, of variable quality and involving a wide range of speakers. For full details, see our Speech to Text leaderboard: artificialanalysis.ai/speech…

Repeated this test with new Speechmatics. WER 6.88. Indeed new Ursa model improved a lot!
A quick test of popular SaaS ASR services recently. More or less they are the same. Whisper really shines for English. Async processing: AssemblyAI 11.01 Rev 15.25 Soniox 11.81 Whisper Largev2 8.94 Whisper Med.En 9.29 Nemo RNNT 19.61

There’s a big difference between speech-to-text working for some people, most of the time, and for all people, all of the time 🔇 @BCevoli looks at why speech tech in 2023 still has some distance to travel in reducing inequality ➡️ bit.ly/3i54xU7

🎉Congratulations to everyone involved in the @KU_Leuven Summer School on the #Law, #Ethics & #Policy of #AI. 9 days of an intense programme have come to an end with a lot of discussions had, insights gained, and friends made. Looking forward to the next edition.
That’s a wrap! What a privilege and pleasure it was to host such a wonderful & talented group of people in Leuven for the @KUL_AI_SSchool, both virtually & physically😊 A massive thank you to all the participants & lecturers, and to @GAVClaw & @Hendrickx_Vic! See you all soon!

A wonderful overview on AI & the public sector by @NathalieSmuha at @KUL_AI_SSchool, discussing applications, values and pitfalls. “Digitizing a broken process gets you a digitized broken process”. Thank you for being so good Nathalie! (Yes, this school is never ending 😂)

**New paper** on use of prediction in skilled text reading with @bcevoli and @snobfox. Main finding: accurate predictions can be made based on text statistics, and these predictions guide how our eyes interrogate upcoming text. THREAD 1/ #GPT2 royalsocietypublishing.org/d…

At the height of the pandemic, eLearning tools accelerated the use of #transcription software. Can we, however, rely on it to educate the next generation if it misunderstands young voices? 👶 bit.ly/3rwGkqj

** New Preprint ** where we show that internal states of GPT-2 predict fine-grained eye-movement behaviours in reading: skips, fixation durations, regressions. Excited about this work with @BCevoli and Chris Watkins psyarxiv.com/urjh4
