This is agreement with recognized text. Missing words can be recognition errors; the score does not assess individual speech sounds.
How is the score calculated?
Exact words get full credit; similar words get partial credit. Missing, replaced and extra words lower the score. Excellent requires all words in the right order. The 60/80% thresholds are experimental.
