About this paper

A fine-tuned causal target-speaker extraction model achieves near-commercial speech recognition accuracy on real recordings with low CPU usage and latency.

A voice agent's speech recognizer transcribes everyone near the microphone, including people other than the caller. I fine-tuned a public causal target-speaker extraction model (REAL-TSE, 27M parameters) on one GPU to work from a voice sample cut from the call itself, and released it as VoxLock. I score it by what a recognizer writes on real recordings. On Krisp's 265-recording benchmark it reaches 4.95% WER against 23.21% unprocessed and lets 9 background words into the transcript over 85 minutes of background-only speech. Its WER is not significantly different from Krisp's best filters and is significantly lower than the other commercial and open systems I tested. On 400 AMI meeting…
