Benchmarking and Performance Evaluation for Speech-to-Text Pipeline

Description

Implement a comprehensive benchmarking system to evaluate the performance and accuracy of the speech-to-text pipeline across different transcription models and configurations.

The benchmarking module should measure and display key ASR metrics such as:

  • Processing Time
  • Real-Time Factor (RTFx)
  • Word Error Rate (WER)
  • Character Error Rate (CER)
  • Model Inference Time
  • Memory/CPU Usage
  • Language Detection Accuracy
  • Speaker Detection Count (if diarization is enabled)

Objectives

  • Compare performance between multiple ASR models.
  • Track transcription latency and accuracy.
  • Identify bottlenecks in the transcription pipeline.
  • Provide reproducible benchmark reports for testing and optimization.

Expected Features

  • Benchmark execution for uploaded or recorded audio samples.
  • Metrics visualization in UI/dashboard.
  • Export benchmark results in JSON/CSV format.
  • Support benchmarking for different model sizes/configurations.
  • Consistent testing workflow for future model evaluations.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Benchmarking module successfully records all required metrics.
  • Results are displayed clearly in the application UI.
  • Benchmark reports can be exported.
  • Benchmarking works for both offline and realtime transcription flows.
  • No impact on existing transcription functionality.
