By band, the scored Waray models are 1 Good, 4 Usable and 4 Limited (Excellent is chrF++ 60 or more, Good 45 to 60, Usable 30 to 45, Limited 15 to 30). A score is a 48-sentence screening of news and encyclopedia text, not a measure of accuracy, and a difference of a point or two is noise. How we measured.

Speech-to-text. No speech model here covers Waray: there is no dedicated model, and Whisper's tokenizer does not list the language.

Each model page has a short snippet to download and run the model yourself, its licence and attribution text, and its score where there is one. Pick the best scored model for your direction, then try it on a few sentences of your own text: a screening score is a starting point, not a guarantee.
