Methodology
To ensure fair and repeatable accuracy evaluation, we adopted a benchmarking methodology similar to AssemblyAI:- Public datasets were used for transparency and reproducibility
- Transcripts were normalized using Whisper Normalizer
- Accuracy was calculated using Word Error Rate (WER) via the JiWER library
