whisper-small-mizonal3-E5-lus-v2026.06

This model is a fine-tuned version of openai/whisper-small on the MiZonal v3.0 dataset. Note: ~1 hour of conversational speech was added to this dataset version.

It achieves the following results on the evaluation set:

• Wer: 21.0562
• Cer: 7.2973
• Real Time Factor: 0.0263
