Clearly the recall and precision on the second script are higher.  Of 
course, without knowing what the total number of words that should be 
generated is, it's hard to say more.  In particular, it's hard to say 
whether 471 is good.  (Is the second script getting 471 out of 500 
possible, or 471 out of 50,000?)

In general, though, I think comparing at this gross level is only going 
to give a general sort of answer.  What you really want is a test set 
where each input word is paired with its expected output word, so you 
can do error analysis and regression testing.
