I'm not an expert on this at all, but my suspicion is that humans are more tolerant of missing words than we are of mistaken words. Especially a word like "I", we just assume it if it's missing.

So if this speech recognition is for creating a transcript for humans, this (in my uneducated opinion) isn't as good as humans do, at least not yet.

If nothing's changed in the past 15 years, anything under 95% accuracy is not accurate enough for automation without human intervention (copy editing).
