The results are incorrect, with words missing, after implementing the timestamps.

The WAV audio file is 18 minutes long, and the results are correct when timestamps are set to False.
the wav file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ULZfUMIHa7RQjhiR7LnLO1DTOs4J04Yo/view?usp=sharing

But using

time python test22.py     pretrained_name="nvidia/canary-1b-flash"     audio_dir=/workspace/asr2025/     chunk_len_in_secs=40.0     batch_size=5     decoding.beam.beam_size=1     timestamps=True

This script chunks long audios into non-overlapping segments of `chunk_len_in_secs` 
seconds and performs inference on each 
segment individually. The results are then concatenated to form the final output.

Below is an example of how to run this script with the Canary-1b model.
It's recommended to use manifest input, otherwise the model will perform English ASR 
with punctuations and capitalizations. 
An example manifest line:
{
    "audio_filepath": "/path/to/audio.wav",  # path to the audio file
    "duration": 10000.0,  # duration of the audio
    "taskname": "asr",  # use "s2t_translation" for AST
    "source_lang": "en",  # Set `source_lang`==`target_lang` for ASR, choices=['en','de','es','fr']
    "target_lang": "de",  # choices=['en','de','es','fr']
    "pnc": "yes",  # whether to have PnC output, choices=['yes', 'no'] 
}

ffmpeg -i test.wav -ac 1 -ar 16000 -sample_fmt s16 -f wav output.wav

ffmpeg -i test.wav

Example Usage:
python speech_to_text_aed_chunked_infer.py \
    model_path=null \
    pretrained_name="nvidia/canary-1b-flash" \
    audio_dir="<(optional) path to folder of audio files>" \
    dataset_manifest="<(optional) path to manifest>" \
    output_filename="<(optional) specify output filename>" \
    chunk_len_in_secs=40.0 \
    batch_size=16 \
    decoding.beam.beam_size=1

To return word and segment level timestamps, add `timestamps=True` to the above command, 
and set `chunk_len_in_secs=10.0` for best results.

Hi @will1130 this is a known issue with current canary model. The reported numbers are without PnC and also without timestamps enabled. Timestamps with english is currently experimental feature as mentioned on Model Card.
