Submission Archive (.zip or .tar.gz) Upload

Getting Started

New to the competition? We provide a Whisper Tiny starter that's ready to upload and scores as a baseline.

1. Clone the starter repo:

   git clone https://github.com/khursanirevo/revoasr-starter.git
   cd revoasr-starter

2. Install dependencies and build the submission:

   pip install transformers torch soundfile
   bash build.sh

3. Upload the generated submission.zip using the form above or the API.

The starter achieves RTF ~0.05 (limit is 0.08). Improve it by swapping the model, adding beam search, or using faster-whisper.

Transcription Format

How your predictions are evaluated against ground truth.

Language

Language

Malay (Bahasa Malaysia), with occasional English

Text Normalization

Both ground truth and predictions are normalized before computing WER/CER:

• Lowercased — casing does not affect scoring
• Alphabet + punctuation only — digits, brackets, and special characters are removed
• Filler words (err, um, aa) and informal Malay (lah, je, ni) are kept as normal words

Example

Ground truth: Tajuk pun, Kau Yang Pertama, merupakan, aa, akasia pertama bagi saya.
Normalized:    tajuk pun, kau yang pertama, merupakan, aa, akasia pertama bagi saya.

Your model output is normalized the same way, so casing and special characters don't matter.
