| Measured fixture results | Word error rate (WER): 29.63% · Timestamp alignment: 32.5% · Segment retention: 100% · Formatting score: 100/100 | Word error rate (WER): 62.96% · Timestamp alignment: 46.9% · Segment retention: 100% · Formatting score: 100/100 |
| Fixture findings | Subtitle timeline achieves 100% segment alignment; specialized terms exhibit partial transcription variance (WER 29.63%). | On the 15.5s short video master, it natively exports a 6-cue SubRip (.srt) file with 100% syntax compliance and 100% segment retention (00:00:00,140 to 00:00:15,219); due to the 9-word free-tier promotional prefix in cue 1 and hyphenated spelling of the verification token, raw WER is 62.96% with 46.9% timestamp alignment accuracy (30.0/65). |
| Original historical observation | Submagic transcribes 15.5s benchmark video in 9.91s cloud processing and provides direct .srt export. | Signed into the TurboScribe dashboard (https://turboscribe.ai/dashboard) via Google OAuth, uploaded the 15.5s short video master (anchor_subtitle_v1/video.mp4), and completed Whale-mode speech recognition and subtitle segmentation in 24.4s (02_result.png). The natively exported .srt file (0.4 KB, 6 cues) achieved 100% syntax compliance (formatting_score 100%), scoring 30.0/65 on raw subtitle quality due to the free-tier attribution prefix in cue 1 and hyphenated spelling of the verification token. |
