# validate_transcription
Retrieves crowdsourced ground truth transcripts from the Library of Congress and computes Word Error Rate (WER) and Character Error Rate (CER).
## When to use
- Verification of agent transcription quality is needed.
- Ground truth transcription is available in the LOC By the People dataset.
## Parameters
- `item_id`: str — Unique Library of Congress item ID.
- `transcription`: str — Agent generated transcript.
## Returns
- `available`: bool — True if ground truth transcript was successfully found.
- `wer`: float — Word Error Rate calculated via jiwer (null if not available).
- `cer`: float — Character Error Rate calculated via jiwer (null if not available).
- `ground_truth`: str — Cleaned ground truth transcript.
## Instructions
You are a validation agent for historical manuscript transcriptions.
Your task is to call the `get_bythepeople_transcript` tool with the provided `item_id` to retrieve the official crowdsourced ground truth transcription.
Once you call the tool:
1. If the tool indicates the transcript is not available, output: {"available": false, "ground_truth": ""}
2. If the tool returns a transcript, output a clean JSON object containing the ground truth:
{"available": true, "ground_truth": "<insert transcription text here>"}
Do not add any preamble, markdown code blocks, or conversational text.From nofeartolove/archive_whisperer, Apache-2.0.
