Transcribing Children's Speech: ASR Performance and Obtaining Reliable Orthographic Transcriptions

arXiv cs.CL · 2026-05-29 Cached

This paper evaluates nine ASR models (Whisper, Parakeet, Wav2Vec2) on Dutch child speech datasets JASMIN and DART, finding that fine-tuned Whisper-medium achieves the best performance (WER 5.54% on JASMIN, 70.37% on DART). It also proposes a selection method to automatically identify correctly pronounced utterances with high precision, reducing the need for manual verification.
