Abstract

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.S. earnings calls in 2025. The benchmark provides aligned transcripts and structured metadata, including speaker roles, industry labels, and call structure, enabling speaker- and industry-aware evaluation beyond aggregate word error rate (WER). We report reproducible baselines for Whisper and Parakeet-TDT using standardized scoring.
