SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the need to objectively measure and improve the accuracy of audio transcriptions generated by the WaveCap system, ensuring reliable and high-quality output.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Accuracy Metrics: Calculate Word Error Rate (WER) and Character Error Rate (CER) against ground truth.
  • Regression Testing: Export audio and expected transcripts to run automated tests and track accuracy over time.
  • Use Case: A product manager wants to verify that a recent update to the Whisper model in WaveCap has not degraded transcription accuracy. They use this skill to run a suite of regression tests against a known dataset and compare the WER before and after the update.

Quick Start

Use the wavecap-evaluate skill to export reviewed transcriptions for regression testing.

FAQPage Schema
How do I calculate Word Error Rate for audio transcription accuracy?

To calculate Word Error Rate (WER) for audio transcription accuracy, you compare generated text against a ground truth transcript. This evaluates output quality by also computing Character Error Rate and analyzing segment-level probabilities.

Can I run regression testing on audio transcriptions to track accuracy over time?

Yes, you can run regression testing on audio transcriptions by exporting audio files alongside expected transcripts. This enables running automated tests against known datasets to compare metrics like WER before and after system updates.

What transcription metrics should I use to evaluate model regression?

To evaluate transcription model regression, you should use Word Error Rate, Character Error Rate, and transcription rates. Analyzing confidence scores and segment-level probabilities provides deeper insight into specific areas of degradation.

How do I verify a Whisper model update has not degraded transcription accuracy?

To verify a Whisper model update has not degraded transcription accuracy, run a suite of regression tests against a known dataset and compare the Word Error Rate before and after the update to ensure reliable output.

Does audio analysis include segment-level probability and confidence score evaluation?

Yes, audio analysis includes segment-level probability and confidence score evaluation. This feature breaks down transcription results to assess reliability and pinpoint exact segments where accuracy may be compromised.
