Benchmark Results

We selected ElevenLabs Scribe for comparison as it is widely recognized as the leading ASR model, delivering word error rates (WER) below 5% in over 25 languages, including Indonesian and Japanese, and outperforming competitors like Whisper Large V3, Deepgram Nova-3, and Gemini 2.0 Flash on benchmarks such as FLEURS and Common Voice. In contrast, standard market performance for speech-to-text models in challenging languages like Indonesian, Chinese, and Japanese often ranges from 5% to 10% WER or higher, as seen in models such as OpenAI Whisper (with WER up to 50% thresholds for supported languages) and others, highlighting the significant advancements Pelayar offers over typical industry benchmarks.

Our evaluations compared Pelayar against ElevenLabs on varied samples with verified ground-truth transcripts, incorporating contextual inputs for optimized performance. Pelayar demonstrates clear superiority, particularly in Indonesian, while performing on par in English.
