Summary

Fixes a variable naming conflict in the compute_metrics function example in the ASR documentation that causes an UnboundLocalError.

Problem

The original code had a naming conflict where wer was used both as:

1. The loaded evaluate metric (wer = evaluate.load("wer"))
2. The variable to store the computed result (wer = wer.compute(...))

This caused Python to treat wer as a local variable throughout the function, leading to an UnboundLocalError when trying to access it before assignment.

Solution

• Renamed the global metric variable from wer to wer_metric
• Stored the result in wer_score

Changes

• docs/source/en/tasks/asr.md: Fixed variable naming in compute_metrics example

Testing

• Code runs without UnboundLocalError
• WER metric computation works correctly
• Documentation builds successfully
