๐งญ What it is
Audar-ASR-V1-Turbo is Audar's proprietary Arabic speech-recognition model โ the accuracy tier of the Audar-ASR family. It recasts transcription as audio-conditioned next-token prediction over a unified text vocabulary (a language-model decoder rather than a CTC or transducer objective), and is developed in-house through a proprietary Arabic training program:
- ๐งฑ Large-scale dialectal pretraining โ 300,000+ hours of Arabic audio spanning MSA, Gulf, Egyptian, Levantine and Maghrebi speech, code-switching, and diverse acoustic channels.
- ๐ฏ Dialect-targeted fine-tuning โ hardness sampling and multi-task conditioning focused on proper nouns, code-switching, and dialect-faithful orthography.
- ๐ง GRPO reinforcement-learning alignment โ preference optimization against Arabic-native failure modes (diacritization, code-switching, named-entity preservation, formatting) with trained native annotators.
The result is state-of-the-art dialectal Arabic ASR โ the lowest average WER of any evaluated system on the Open Universal Arabic ASR Leaderboard. It transcribes MSA and every major Arabic dialect, code-switched ArabicโEnglish, and English, across 30 languages in total. For real-time, edge, or high-throughput deployment, see the smaller Audar-ASR-V1-Flash.
Distributed in the widely-supported Qwen3-ASR architecture format for turnkey tooling (llama.cpp / GGUF). The model โ data, training curriculum, and alignment โ is Audar's.

๐ Benchmarks
Arabic dialectal ASR is hard โ heavily dialectal, conversational, code-switched speech is the frontier for every system. On the Open Universal Arabic ASR Leaderboard, Audar-ASR-V1-Turbo posts the lowest average WER of any evaluated system on the full test sets โ 24.7 %, best on four of the six โ and 3.55 % WER on CommonVoice-18 Arabic. The per-dataset development-protocol results (100 utterances/benchmark) are below.

Per-dataset WER (%), development protocol (100 utterances/benchmark); baselines are the leaderboard's published full-test scores. Best per column in bold. Authoritative full-test-set average: 24.7 %.
| System | CommonVoice-18 | MASC-clean | MASC-noisy | MGB-2 | SADA | Casablanca | Avg |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Audar-ASR-V1-Turbo | 3.55 | 9.13 | 16.84 | 14.01 | 35.22 | 62.87 | 23.60 |
| ElevenLabs Scribe v1 | 5.74 | 9.87 | 19.78 | 15.15 | 40.87 | 66.93 | 26.39 |
| Qwen3-ASR-1.7B (base) | 10.86 | 15.07 | 21.12 | 29.21 | 50.54 | 85.25 | 35.34 |
| Whisper-Large-v3 | 17.83 | 24.66 | 34.63 | 16.26 | 55.96 | 71.81 | 36.86 |
Emirati Arabic
| Set | WER % | CER % |
|---|---|---|
| Emirati (Mixat, full 1,585-clip test) | 19.4 | 7.3 |
On Emirati, the real recognition error is โ 7.3 % โ near-parity with spontaneous English โ while the residual up to 19.4 % WER is largely orthographic convention (near-miss spelling of the same word, e.g. ุงูุชูโุงูุชูุง, and Latin-vs-Arabic rendering of English loanwords), not misrecognition.
Measured on an internal dialectal validation sample
Same sample and harness as the Flash card โ useful for a direct Flash-vs-Turbo comparison (WER/CER %, N clips per set).
| Set (dialect) | N | WER % | CER % |
|---|---|---|---|
| SawtArabi (Gulf) | 23 | 13.7 | 2.7 |
| ArzEn (Egyptian โ English code-switch) | 40 | 19.9 | 9.2 |
| MGB-3 (Egyptian broadcast) | 40 | 27.3 | 10.5 |
| Casablanca (Maghrebi / Moroccan Darija) | 40 | 61.9 | 28.6 |
Casablanca 61.9 WER โ the official leaderboard's 62.87 (reproduced in-house) โ the numbers line up.
๐ป GGUF inference (llama.cpp)
Turbo runs on llama.cpp via the multimodal (mtmd) path โ a quantized decoder GGUF plus a
BF16 audio projector (mmproj). Build a recent llama.cpp (with Qwen3-ASR support), then:
./llama-mtmd-cli \
-m Audar-ASR-V1-Turbo-Q8_0.gguf \
--mmproj mmproj-Audar-ASR-V1-Turbo.gguf \
--audio clip.wav \
-sys "ูุฑูุบ ุงูููุงู
ุงูุนุฑุจู ุงูุชุงูู." \
--temp 0
โ ๏ธ The audio projector (
mmproj) must stay BF16 (itsClippableLinearis numerically sensitive). The decoder quantizes normally.
Prefer a managed endpoint? The Audar-ASR family is also available via the Audar API/SDK โ streaming, speaker-attributed transcription, and diarization, production-hosted.
GGUF variants
| File | Approx. size | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Audar-ASR-V1-Turbo-Q4_K_M.gguf |
~1.28 GB | Smallest; constrained hardware |
Audar-ASR-V1-Turbo-Q8_0.gguf |
~2.16 GB | Near-lossless (recommended) |
Audar-ASR-V1-Turbo.gguf (BF16) |
~4.07 GB | Full precision decoder |
mmproj-Audar-ASR-V1-Turbo.gguf |
~0.64 GB | BF16 audio encoder โ required, keep BF16 |
๐๏ธ Real-time streaming
Audar-ASR streams via LocalAgreement-2: as audio arrives the trailing window is re-decoded each hop and a word is committed only once two consecutive decodes agree on it โ giving stable, low-latency incremental output over the GGUF runtime. Audar's production realtime engine serves the same policy over an OpenAI-Realtime-compatible WebSocket with model-based endpointing and โฅ64 concurrent streams on a single A100-80GB.
๐ Languages, dialects & tasks
- Primary: Arabic โ MSA and dialectal (Gulf/Emirati, Egyptian, Levantine, Maghrebi), plus code-switched ArabicโEnglish; emits dialect-faithful orthography from audio alone.
- Also: English + 28 additional languages.
- Task: transcription (audio โ UTF-8 text), prompt-steerable for language and formatting.
Intended use & limitations
Intended use. Broadcast/media transcription, meeting & contact-center intelligence, voice agents, captioning, and accessibility โ cloud or on-prem.
Limitations.
- Maghrebi / Moroccan Darija (Casablanca) remains the hardest condition (~63 % WER) for all systems.
- Heavily code-switched telephony and low-SNR audio degrade accuracy relative to clean MSA.
- Long-form audio can drift on very long recordings.
- Not evaluated for, and must not be used for, covert speaker identification.
