Low error rate6.6% CER
Character Error Rate (CER) measures the percentage of characters incorrectly recognised. Lower is better. This model scored 6.6% on its validation set. As a rule of thumb, a CER below 10% is considered good for most handwritten material. Super Models are trained on very large and diverse datasets, making them robust across a wide range of handwriting styles and languages. Because of this diversity, a low CER on the validation set is a strong indicator of general-purpose quality.
Measured on the model's own validation data. Results on your documents may differ depending on handwriting style, document condition, language, and how closely your material resembles the training data.
