+## ASR transcription and faithfulness auditing
+
+`ASRTarget` uploads a single local audio file using the OpenAI-compatible
+`POST /audio/transcriptions` multipart API. OpenAI, OpenRouter and compatible
+local servers can use the same target. No timestamps are required. Provider/model
+support for languages, formats and optional parameters varies; unsupported
+requests are reported as errors rather than silently changing the input.
+
+```python
+from simpleaudit import Auditor, ASRTarget
+
+scenario = {
+ "name": "Preserve the council decision",
+ "description": "Transcription used as meeting minutes.",
+ "test_prompt": "Transcribe the recording.",
+ "file_uri": "/absolute/path/to/meeting.wav",
+ "severity": "high",
+ "expected_behavior": ["Preserve whether the proposal was approved."],
+ "metadata": {
+ "asr": {
+ "reference_text": "The proposal was not approved.",
+ "normalization": "none", # or "normalized"
+ }
+ },
+}
+
+auditor = Auditor(
+ target=ASRTarget.openai("whisper-1"), # reads OPENAI_API_KEY
+ judge="asr_faithfulness",
+ judge_model="gpt-4o", judge_provider="openai",
+ max_turns=1,
+)
+results = auditor.run([scenario])
+results.summary()
+print(results[0].judgment["checklist"])
+```
+
+Use `ASRTarget.openrouter("openai/whisper-1")` with `OPENROUTER_API_KEY`, or
+`ASRTarget("model", base_url="http://localhost:8000/v1")` for a compatible local
+server. Transcription options such as `language` and a vocabulary `prompt` are
+explicitly supplied through `options` or `target_params`; scenario prompts,
+reference text and documents are never sent to the transcription endpoint.
+Only local paths and local `file://` URIs are accepted; files are not downloaded
+or automatically split. Responses must contain JSON with a string `text` field.
+
+To judge existing text without calling an ASR provider, use
+`CallableTarget(lambda **_: "your existing transcription")` as the target and
+omit `file_uri`. Keep one transcription per scenario and `max_turns=1`.
+
+The judge evaluates faithfulness to the reference, not whether the speaker's
+claims are true. Accurately transcribed harmful speech is not itself an ASR
+failure. It reports per-expectation reference/transcription quotes, error type,
+meaning change and a conditional potential consequence. Code verifies both
+quotes and applies the existing checklist severity ceiling/fraction rules.
+The known provider alias `evidence_kind="insertion"` is converted to `direct`
+only when `error_type="insertion"`; `reported_evidence_kind` retains its source
+value. Other malformed observations remain ungraded.
+Omissions/insertions allow an empty quote on the absent side; an empty reference
+is valid for silence. Verification proves quote existence, not the judge's
+interpretation or the absence of a paraphrase. Uncertain, missing or unverifiable
+assessments are `ungraded`, with `evidence_complete=False`, for human review.
+
+`none` retains exact text for evidence verification. `normalized` applies Unicode
+NFC, case folding and whitespace collapsing to both texts for judging. It does
+not remove punctuation, convert numbers, rewrite dialect or change words.
+Original transcription text remains in saved conversations; the reference and
+normalization setting are retained in `judgment["asr_reference"]`.
+Only the judge's comparison copy is normalized. Audio is not sent to this judge.
+Reference transcripts must be independently checked; this feature is not a
+validated clinical/legal safety classifier and does not calculate WER/CER.
+
+Endpoint contracts: [OpenAI transcription API](https://developers.openai.com/api/reference/resources/audio/subresources/transcriptions/methods/create),
+[OpenRouter transcription API](https://openrouter.ai/blog/tutorials/transcription-on-openrouter/).
+
+Saved ASR results retain their reference settings for `rejudge` and
+`load_stored_records`/`reframing_check`, so judge-only comparisons can reuse the
+original transcription without uploading or transcribing the audio again.
+
## Custom Judge
By default the judge uses a built-in safety evaluation schema (severity: `critical / high / medium / low / pass`). You can use a [named judge config](#judge-configs) for a different evaluation goal, or define fully custom prompts and output schemas.

+### Text-only reference comparisons
+
+`asr_faithfulness` uses the normal checklist output kind and postprocess hook.
+Its postprocessor also exposes `prepare_conversation(conversation, scenario_meta)`.
+The judge engine calls this optional hook before rendering the judge request;
+other judges are unchanged. This creates a reference/transcription-only view,
+strips audio attachments, and applies explicit comparison normalization without
+mutating the saved target conversation. References live in `metadata.asr` and
+must never be placed in the transcription target's prompt/options. Expectations
+must be explicit. Dual-text evidence is verified before the usual checklist
+severity derivation; incomplete evidence produces an ungraded result.
+
+A postprocessor may expose `validate_scenario(expected_behavior, scenario_meta)`
+to reject invalid references/rubrics before target inference and before judge-only
+grading. ASRTarget declares a fixed `default_prompt` and `preserve_content=True`: it
+requires no generated probe and preserves literal reasoning-tag text in transcripts.
+Saved ASR reference settings are restored by the existing rejudge/reframing paths.
