The figure below shows a WER (Word Error Rate) breakdown by languages of the Fleurs dataset using the `large-v2` model (The smaller the numbers, the better the performance). Additional WER scores corresponding to the other models and datasets can be found in Appendix D.1, D.2, and D.4. Meanwhile, more BLEU (Bilingual Evaluation Understudy) scores can be found in Appendix D.3. Both are found in [the paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.04356). ![WER breakdown by language](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openai/whisper/main/language-breakdown.svg)
