HojoAI releases open multilingual ASR model Hojo-ASR-Multi-V1 with 3.54 average WER
Overview
HojoAI releases Hojo-ASR-Multi-V1, an open multilingual speech recognition model that scored 3.54 average word error rate (WER) across five languages on a benchmark table, according to a post by Rohan Paul.
The model pairs an acoustic encoder and adapter with a Qwen3-4B LLM decoder.
The model is available on Hugging Face under the Apache 2.0 license and can be installed through the hojo-asr Python package. Rohan Paul says the package supports local inference and WAV, byte stream and SCP inputs. The reported WER figure comes from the benchmark table in that post; this overview does not verify it independently.
