Evaluation of Speech-to-text Translation performance on the CoVoST 2 dataset, specifically focusing on translation directions where English is the source language and various other languages (X) are the targets. Metrics reported include COMET and BLEU scores for each target language.

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.

| Scope | Recorded value |
| --- | --- |
| Task | English-to-X Speech-to-text translation |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | CoVoST 2 |
| Metric | COMET Score (Tr) |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 8 of 8 |
| Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark |

Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol.
