What was tested
- English dictation with numbers and a tracking code
- English dictation with URL and token-like strings
- Turkish e-commerce style sentence
- Spanish customer support style sentence
- The same English dictation with added white noise
- The token-heavy English clip sped up 1.35x
Test setup
All input audio clips were generated with https://wiro.ai/models/resemble-ai/chatterbox-multilingual so the scripts stay consistent across reruns. Then the audio was uploaded to WordPress and used as the ASR input URL. Qwen3-ASR-1.7B was run with language selection plus batchSize=32 and newTokens=256.

Quick takeaways
- Clean English dictation looked solid, including numbers and punctuation.
- Token-heavy text (URLs, underscores, commit hashes) needs cleanup rules on the client side.
- This Turkish and Spanish sample did not hold up. More language-specific testing is needed before relying on it.
