Researchers from Apple introduce TYPESCORE, a novel metric specifically designed to assess the fidelity of embedded text within images generated by text-to-image models. TYPESCORE consistently shows higher alignment with human judgments on text and overall image quality compared to existing metrics like CLIPScore, and reveals that Ideogram achieves the highest text fidelity among tested state-of-the-art models.

Key insights

  • The ability to accurately render embedded text serves as a strong proxy for a generative model's broader fine-grained control and instruction-following capabilities.
  • Richer, recaptioned prompts containing detailed stylistic and contextual information can lead to improved text fidelity in generated images.
  • The relative ranking of text-to-image models by TYPESCORE remains robust even when using different, less accurate text extraction models like LLaVA-NeXT, as long as error levels are consistent across evaluated images.
