Shared compatibility
- Python · jiwer: Python runtime · just-eval: Python runtime
Choose jiwer if…
- License: jiwer is Apache-2.0, just-eval is MIT.
- Tags unique to jiwer: automatic-speech-recognition, evaluation-metrics, python3, speech-to-text.
- For accurate speech recognition evaluation needing direct WER calculations
When NOT to use jiwer
- Avoid if your project requires only basic, non-word level performance indicators
- Not suitable for evaluating text-to-speech systems, as it focuses exclusively on speech-to-text output assessment
Choose just-eval if…
- License: just-eval is MIT, jiwer is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to just-eval: evaluation, gpt4, llm, llm-eval.
- When your team requires an in-depth yet interpretable evaluation of LLM performance, focusing on various aspects.
When NOT to use just-eval
- Avoid if direct integration with competing API services is needed as just-eval focuses solely on OpenAI API key configuration.
- Not suitable when your project demands a custom evaluation framework that extends beyond simple GPT-based assessments.
