How to Evaluate Word Error Rate?

Word Error Rate evaluator uses Word Error Rate = 1-(1/Expected Number of Transmission)^(1/Message Length) to evaluate the Word Error Rate, The Word error rate (WER) is defined as a common metric of the performance of speech recognition or machine translation system. The general difficulty of measuring performance lies in the fact that the recognized word sequence can have a different length from the reference word sequence (supposedly the correct one). Word Error Rate is denoted by Pew symbol.

How to evaluate Word Error Rate using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Word Error Rate, enter Expected Number of Transmission (En) & Message Length (m) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Word Error Rate

What is the formula to find Word Error Rate?
The formula of Word Error Rate is expressed as Word Error Rate = 1-(1/Expected Number of Transmission)^(1/Message Length). Here is an example- 0.697321 = 1-(1/4)^(1/1.16).
How to calculate Word Error Rate?
With Expected Number of Transmission (En) & Message Length (m) we can find Word Error Rate using the formula - Word Error Rate = 1-(1/Expected Number of Transmission)^(1/Message Length).
