As of February 2nd of 2025 the compute_measures method from jiwer has been deprecated, as such, using evaluate's "wer" will throw an error like this:

from jiwer import compute_measures
ImportError: cannot import name 'compute_measures' from 'jiwer' (/home/user/whisper/.venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/jiwer/__init__.py)In short, a quick-solution for anyone that gets the same error is to install an older version of jiwer, e.g. jiwer < 4.0.0
