PashtoTTS-Bench: automated screening for low-resource non-Latin-script text-to-speech
Text-to-speech (TTS) evaluation for low-resource non-Latin-script languages can fail when it relies on a single ASR round-trip word error rate (WER). A system may produce no audio, speak a neighbouring language, preserve target script text only in an ASR transcript, or sound unnatural to native listeners. We introduce INSV (Intelligibility, Naturalness, Script fidelity, and Verification), a reporting framework that separates these cases. This paper reports INSV-A, the automated screening subset: synthesis completion, ASR WER/CER, transcript Script Fidelity Rate, and audio language identification. Native MOS and phonetic annotation are specified but not claimed in this release. We instanti...
