Recording device: iPhone XR

Environment: relatively quiet corridor with occasional background noise, standard speech rate

Notes:

In general, the WER in this transcription is considerably higher than that of the original audiobook transcribed by Whisper. The primary reason behind this discrepancy lies in the fact that this recording was made by a native Mandarin speaker, and there are instances where the pronunciation of certain phonetics is not entirely accurate when speaking in continuous sentences. For example, words like 'man' and 'men,' which have similar pronunciations, lead to a higher WER.

However, there are a few exceptions to this trend. Notably, the WER for segments 0008 and 0009 in this transcription is lower than that of the original recording. This is especially evident in segment 0009, which features a lengthy sentence with no transcription errors. This indicates that Whisper's Large Vocabulary Continuous Speech Recognition (LVCSR) system performs admirably in specific cases.

There are instances where Whisper faces challenges. Firstly, it struggles when dealing with words that share the same or similar pronunciations. For instance, in segment 0003, the original word 'WHETHER' is transcribed as 'weather.' Another instance occurs in segment 0011, where 'PHASES' is transcribed as 'faces.' This highlights the need for improvement in the system's ability to transcribe within the context of the language model.

Additionally, the transcription quality suffers when it comes to liaison. For example, in segment 0000, the original transcript reads 'apostle,' but the transcription results in 'a parcel.' A similar situation arises in segment 0004, where 'AT EM' is transcribed as 'atom.'
