"""
Script Fidelity Rate (SFR) metric for multilingual ASR evaluation.
SFR = fraction of non-whitespace, non-punctuation characters in the ASR hypothesis
that belong to the expected target script block(s).
A value of 1.0 means every output character is in the correct script.
A value near 0 means the model produced output entirely in the wrong script —
a condition termed *script collapse* (e.g. Latin transliteration or Arabic when
Devanagari was expected).
SFR is reference-free: it requires only the hypothesis string and a target
language identifier, not a ground-truth transcription. This makes it usable
as a deployment-time audit metric even when no labelled data is available.
This generalises a Pashto-specific script-check heuristic to ten target
languages and scripts.
Usage
-----
>>> from script_fidelity import compute_sfr, SCRIPT_CONFIGS
>>> sfr = compute_sfr("کابل کې ښه هوا ده", "pashto")
>>> assert sfr == 1.0
>>> sfr = compute_sfr("this is entirely Latin", "pashto")
>>> assert sfr == 0.0
