Evaluation

Create recognized results from wav file by speech recognition system

In this repository, webkitSpeechRecognition in the Google Chrome is used as a baseline.

At first, run the Web application server as the following:

$  ./chrome/server.py

Next, open http://127.0.0.1:5000/ by Google Chrome.

Futhermore, connect a USB audio interface to your computer.

Finally, play wav files as the following:

$ ./play_wav.py --interval 2.0

After executing above commands, chrome/chrome_result.txt is created.

Calculate Word-Error-Rate (WER)

$ ./wer.py chrome/chrome_result.txt
