Whisper Normalizer

Whisper Normalizer (version 0.1.12) is a Python package that implements the text standardization and normalization approach used in OpenAI's Whisper ASR model. It provides robust text normalization functionalities, crucial for evaluating Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems by reducing unintentional penalties in metrics like WER and CER. The library extends beyond basic English normalization to include specialized normalizers for Indic languages, addressing challenges such as diacritic preservation. The project appears to have an active development and release cadence.
