Methodology
Independent evaluation. Exact Fish Audio API model ID s2.1-pro-free, corresponding to the public free service route. Coval measures that route separately from production S2.1 Pro, using the same prompts, and reports a rolling 30-day result last measured 2026-10-16. Stored score is pooled_value=1.5362004150695352 from the WER row, not mean_value; Coval's visible 1.5% is rounded to one decimal. The reported WER sample count comes from the same row.
Context
This score is for the free s2.1-pro-free endpoint, not the separately measured paid production S2.1 Pro endpoint. The reported WER sample count covers scored items only, not all attempted requests or failures. No confidence interval is reported; free-tier availability or policy can change. TTS WER checks intelligibility, not naturalness or human preference.

This pooled value has task-specific chance levels from 17% to 33%, so it should not be read as a single-task accuracy or compared directly with the other Hume tabs. Per-model N and confidence intervals are not published.
