New SOTA

The Normalized WER in the OpenAI Whisper article with the Common Voice 9.0 test dataset is 8.1.

As this test dataset is similar to the Common Voice 11.0 test dataset used to evaluate our model (WER and WER Norm), it means that our Portuguese Medium Whisper is better than the Medium Whisper model at transcribing audios Portuguese in text (and even better than the Whisper Large that has a WER Norm of 7.1!).
