Introducing Monsoon ASR ⚡️ Voice Arena Speech recognition does not have a model problem anymore. It has a data problem. The best ASR systems are approaching human-level performance in English. But move into the long tail of the world's languages, especially real, conversational speech and error rates can still be 5-10X higher. Today, we're releasing Monsoon ASR: a new generation of training data built specifically to close that gap. 50 languages. 100,000+ hours. Dense spontaneous speech. And one goal: Single-digit WER across the world's languages.🧵

Introducing Diarization Bench, Voice Arena's benchmark for who spoke when. The metric we measure is diarization error rate, or DER. It measures how much of a conversation a model attaches to the wrong person. Every second it misses, invents, or gives to another speaker counts against it. Here's what we did. 139 conversations recorded for this board, in rooms and on calls, with people interrupting each other throughout. 12 systems scored under a single goal: testing models in the real-world conditions they are actually deployed in. NVIDIA's Nemotron 3 leads at 14.72%. 🧵

Introducing Jarvis Bench v0.5, Voice Arena's conversational agent benchmark. We've been obsessed with one question at VoiceArena: why do voice agent demos sound incredible, benchmarks say models are near-perfect, and yet you probably didn't have a single real conversation with a voice agent in the last 24 hours? Here's what's different about the Jarvis Bench. Real humans have live conversations with voice agents. A second group of humans blind-votes pairwise on two questions: which sounded more human, which got the job done. And one of the "agents" on the leaderboard is a human.

We’ve spent years collecting & annotating speech data. What became equally important was learning how to evaluate speech models in a way that reflects real listeners, real accents, & real usage. This video explains how we ran this blind evaluation & what @JoshTalksLive is building in speech evaluations.
