 `gladia-normalization` solves this by reducing both the ground truth and the STT output to a shared canonical form _before_ WER is computed, so that only genuine recognition errors affect the score.
 
+## Used in Gladia's benchmarks
+
+This library is the normalization step behind the WER figures Gladia publishes. Every reference and every provider's output goes through the `gladia-3` preset before WER is computed, so engines are compared on recognition errors, not formatting.

 ## What it does
 
 The library runs your text through a configurable pipeline of normalization steps — expanding contractions, converting symbols to words, removing fillers, casefolding, and more — to produce a clean, canonical output.

 ## About
 
-`gladia-normalization` grew out of internal tooling at [Gladia](https://gladia.io), where we are building an audio intelligence platform powered by speech recognition. When benchmarking ASR systems, we kept hitting the same problem: computing WER from raw transcript penalizes formatting differences that have nothing to do with the quality itself. We built this library to solve it for ourselves, then open-sourced it so the broader speech community doesn't have to solve it again.

 Sharing it felt like the right next step: the problem is universal, and community contributions are the best way to make reliable normalization available for every language, not just the ones we support today.
