Number normalization: 'first' → '1st' and 'scale of 1 to 5' → time
Reviewing
I'm finding that with both transcription and on-device cleanup, Paraspeech still normalizes spoken 'first'/'second' into 1st/2nd and misreads 'rate this on a scale of 1 to 5' as a time like 4:59. This currently makes it hard to use Paraspeech for designing prompts and transcripts. This didn't happen before, and I'm wondering if it's a byproduct of the smart formatting / number-normalization layer that was added recently. I've tried creating a new cleanup prompt, but it's being overridden by the default settings. I'm on Paraspeech 1.7.2 (367). Anyone else experiencing this? Thanks in advance for any help!
Thanks for the clear examples, and sorry this is getting in the way. Paraspeech 1.7.2 does not currently show a control for spoken-number formatting. We're reviewing the ordinal and rating-scale conversions separately.
