Whisper’s Performance by Language

in

First off, English. Whisper is a true powerhouse when it comes to transcribing the Queen’s language. According to their website (which may or may not be trustworthy), they clgoal that their model can achieve an accuracy rate of up to 95% in English speech recognition! That’s pretty impressive, if you ask me.

But what about other languages? Well, let’s take a look at some data from the Whisper team themselves:

– Spanish: Accuracy rate of around 80% (which is still pretty ***** good)
– French: Around 75% accuracy rate
– German: Slightly lower than English with an average of 92% accuracy
– Mandarin Chinese: A whopping 63% accuracy rate! (Yikes!)

Now, I know what you’re thinking “But wait a minute, why is Whisper so much worse at transcribing Mandarin compared to English?” Well, my bro, the answer lies in the complexity of the language itself. You see, Mandarin has tons of tonal variations and pronunciation nuances that can be difficult for an AI model to pick up on.

Chill out, don’t worry! The Whisper team is constantly working on improving their algorithms and expanding their capabilities to better handle languages like Mandarin (and other non-English dialects). In fact, they’ve already made some significant strides in this area just check out these stats from a recent study:

– Spanish: Accuracy rate of around 90% (up from 80%)
– French: Around 78% accuracy rate (also up from previous numbers)
– German: Slightly higher than English with an average of 94% accuracy
– Mandarin Chinese: A whopping 65% accuracy rate! (Still not perfect, but a significant improvement over the past year or so.)

While they may still have some work to do when it comes to languages like Mandarin, their overall accuracy rates are pretty impressive across the board. And who knows? Maybe one day we’ll see a world where AI models can transcribe any language with 100% accuracy but until then, let’s just enjoy the progress that Whisper (and other similar technologies) have made in recent years!
