Is Your Training Data Actually Model-Ready?

If you're fine-tuning a speech model, you've probably hit this wall: DNSMOS gives you a score, but it doesn't tell you whether the data behind that score is actually right for your model. 

Treat it as a pass/fail gate and you'll end up training on audio that looks clean on paper but drags down real-world performance—while good source data gets tossed for no reason.

Voices' CTO DJ Jalali (with the team's senior audio and voice data engineers) just published a free white paper that breaks down the four-step calibration framework they use internally to set model-specific quality thresholds instead of trusting the raw DNSMOS number. It also covers where DNSMOS breaks down and how Voices validates audio for custom datasets at scale.
