Hy ASR 3.0 Technical Report

arXiv:2611.14908v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present Hy ASR 3.0, a large language model (LLM)-based automatic speech recognition (ASR) system that delivers strong recognition accuracy, supports flexible contextual conditioning, and maintains robust recognition performance across diverse speech conditions. Hy ASR 3.0 supports Mandarin Chinese, English and 13 Chinese dialect groups, including Cantonese. Among the evaluated systems, it achieves the lowest aggregate error rates on public Mandarin Chinese, English, and Cantonese benchmarks and the lowest error rates on the corresponding internal test sets, alongside first-tier dialect recognition performance. Beyond audio-only transcription, Hy ASR 3.0 supports multiple forms of external context, including hotword lists, question--answer dialogues, and summaries, enabling the use of task-relevant information during recognition. The model also leverages intra-utterance context to disambiguate homophonic and phonetically similar keywords using information from other parts of the same utterance, without requiring a separate contextual input. Evaluations demonstrate strong contextual recognition in both external-context…
