We introduce Earnings25, a finance-domain benchmark for evaluating automatic speech recognition (ASR) on English-language earnings calls under realistic conditions. Earnings25 comprises two complementary test sets: (i) testset-full, 498 hours of full English-language S&P 500 earnings calls from Q4 2025, and (ii) testset-segmented, a 46-hour industry-balanced set of 290 segments sampled from English-language U.

The paper introduces DualEvasion, a benchmark that evaluates evasion detection in earnings call Q&A using both textual transcripts and vocal cues. It contains 505 annotated question‑answer pairs from 60 calls, each labeled for textual evasion (direct vs. evasive) and speaker confidence (confident vs. unconfident). Experiments show that current multimodal models struggle to detect vocal confidence, especially in unconfident responses, and that providing speaker‑level references only modestly improves performance, leaving a significant gap compared to humans.

arXiv:2607. 14846v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Current voice AI benchmarks typically evaluate isolated capabilities such as speech intelligibility, word error rate, or text-based dialogue quality, but they rarely test whether systems harness the acoustic information that distinguishes spoken language from its textual representation.
Conversational ASR for lower-resource languages and niche domains is limited by the scarcity of domain-matched multi-speaker training data. We propose an augmentation pipeline that generates scenario-level dialogues with participant metadata, maps speaker attributes to TTS voice profiles, and assembles synthesized utterances into speaker-aware simulated conversations.

The paper introduces a synthetic Bengali speech dataset tailored for telecom customer‑care applications, comprising 10,000 audio‑text pairs (≈26.82 hours) with predefined train, validation, and test splits. The data were generated using OmniVoice voice‑cloning, and include both original and normalized transcripts for ASR/STT use. Automatic intelligibility evaluation with a fine‑tuned Whisper model shows an average WER of 2.54% and CER of 0.59%, indicating strong text‑audio consistency, while the authors note limitations of synthetic speech and STT‑based evaluation.
TRILOGUE is a new trilingual benchmark for spoken dialogue fact‑checking, covering English, Russian, and Kazakh. It includes almost 12,000 dialogues, 187,000 turns, and 390 hours of paired audio with ASR transcripts and word‑level timestamps, as well as nearly 5,000 human‑recorded Russian and Kazakh files. The dataset supports tasks such as claim check‑worthiness detection, evidence retrieval, and claim verification under various input conditions, and baseline experiments reveal challenges with ASR errors and cross‑lingual transfer, especially for Kazakh.
