qwen3-asr-0.6b-mizonal3-E1-lus-v2026.06

This model is a fine-tuned version of Qwen/Qwen3-ASR-0.6B on the MiZonal v3.0 dataset. Note: ~1 hour of conversational speech was added to this dataset version.

It achieves the following results on the evaluation set:

• Wer: 22.1262
• Cer: 5.2278
• Real Time Factor: 0.0700
