  Following the release of the Portuguese model, we're releasing the Dutch variant of WAVe — a 1B multimodal embedding model that assesses synthetic speech quality at the word level, thereby improving the quality of synthetically augmented datasets for training ASR models.

Trained on CommonVoice 16.1 Dutch with 5 corruption strategies, this model catches mispronunciations, timing errors, and prosody issues in synthetic data that sentence-level embeddings miss entirely.
