Does capitalization matter in the dataset?

[Weroxig]

I ran the finetune.py on my dataset, but looking into the metadata_train.csv and metadata_eval.csv, capitalisation is ignored. When prompting the model, does capitalization matter at all?

Also, can I just change the .csv files after running whisper to modify things in case whisper got it wrong? Is that how it works?

It doesn't matter in any way that I am aware of.

Yes you can change/edit these before moving to the training step.

Thanks
