*The NER model is a method of calculating the accuracy (quality) of live captions. NER stands for; Number, Edition error, and Recognition error.
A NER value of 100 indicates that the content was captioned entirely correctly.
The NER score can be calculated using the following formula:
N (Number) = Total number of words in the live captions.
E (Edition error) = Edition error
R (Recognition error) = Recognition error
