v1.1.0

This is a simple utility to perform a quick evaluation on the results generated by any Speech to text (STT) or Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) System.

This utility can calculate the following metrics -

• Word Error Rate (WER), which is the most common metric of measuring the performance of a Speech Recognition or Machine translation system
• Word Information Loss (WIL), which is a simple approximation to the proportion of word information lost. Refer to this paper for more info.
• Levenshtein Distance calculated at the word level.
• Number of Word-level insertions, deletions, and mismatches between the original file and the generated file.
• Number of Phrase level insertions, deletions, and mismatches between the original file and the generated file.
• Color Highlighted text Comparison to visualize the differences.
• General Statistics about the original and generated files (bytes, characters, words, new lines, etc.)

The utility also performs the pre-processing or normalization of the text in the provided files based on the following operations -

• Remove Speaker Name: Remove the Speaker's name at the beginning of the line.
• Remove Annotations: Remove any custom annotations added during transcriptions.
• Remove Whitespaces: Remove any extra white spaces.
• Remove Quotes: Remove any double quotes
• Remove Dashes: Remove any dashes
• Remove Punctuations: Remove any punctuations (.,?!)
• Convert contents to lower case

Support for ability to pass false to boolean parameters with default value true
Example = --lowercase false
