Whisper turbo MN — Mongolian Speech-to-Text Benchmark
Real results from the Whisper turbo MN Batch API (enhanced operating point, language mn) evaluated across 4 Mongolian datasets and 265 audio samples. Every number below is measured — not marketing. WER, speed, and pricing are shown as-is, brutally honest.
265/265 samples transcribed · 100% success rate
Lower is better · across 265 samples
Pricing
Whisper turbo MN list pricing for batch transcription. No discounts, no negotiated rates applied — the raw per-minute rate.
Pricing source: Whisper turbo MN public pricing. Duudlaga Flow is shown for context only — this page isolates Whisper turbo MN so the number is not padded by our own product.
WER & CER by dataset
Word and character error rates per dataset. Lower is better — and these are the real Whisper turbo MN numbers, which are weak on Common Voice 24.
Dataset summary
Aggregate accuracy, speed, and timing for each dataset.
| Dataset | Source | Samples | Success | WER | CER | Accuracy | Speed | Audio (s) | Proc (s) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Common Voice 24 (MN) | Hugging Face → | 59 | 59/59 | 18% | 6% | 82.0% | 1.98× | 330.6s | 167.1s |
| Shunya Labs Mongolian Speech | Hugging Face → | 60 | 60/60 | 17% | 4.7% | 83.0% | 2.9× | 645.1s | 222.3s |
| Common Voice 20 (MN) | Hugging Face → | 54 | 54/54 | 19.1% | 6.8% | 80.9% | 1.99× | 269.8s | 135.9s |
| Modern Voice | — | 92 | 92/92 | 40.1% | 15.7% | 59.9% | 2.56× | 603.8s | 235.9s |
WER vs speed — per sample
Each dot is one audio sample. The sweet spot is the bottom-left (low error, fast). Whisper turbo MN sits high on error for many Common Voice 24 samples.
Per-sample results
Ground truth shown verbatim in the Expected column. The result column highlights only the words Whisper turbo MN got wrong, in red — no strikethrough/swap gymnastics, just the mistakes.

Methodology
How these numbers were produced.
Provider: Whisper turbo MN (Whisper large-v3-turbo fine-tuned on Mongolian Common Voice + FLEURS (LoRA merged into the base weights) — the most recent Mongolian adaptation of a current-generation Whisper.). Models with this badge were trained on data that overlaps the benchmark corpora (Mongolian Common Voice — 113 of 173 samples — or the public Shunya Labs corpus). Scores on overlapping corpora are inflated by memorization; judge these models by the per-dataset table on their details page, especially the corpora they were NOT trained on.
Endpoint local (transformers). Language mn. Operating point Blgn94/whisper-large-v3-turbo-mn-lora (merged LoRA) on mps. Diarization none.
Datasets: Common Voice 24 (MN), Shunya Labs Mongolian Speech, Common Voice 20 (MN), Modern Voice — 265 samples, 1849.3s of audio total.

Metrics: WER and CER are computed with a standard word/character Levenshtein alignment, normalized for case and punctuation. Accuracy = 100 − WER. Speed factor = audio duration ÷ processing time (× realtime). All requests are real Whisper turbo MN Batch API calls, not cached or simulated.
Diff highlighting: The result column aligns to the ground truth and colors every substitution and insertion red. Deletions (words missing from the result) are not shown in the result column — the Expected column already holds the full ground truth as-is.
