This post presents a repeatable evaluation flywheel using NVIDIA agent skills, NeMo Data Designer, and Nemotron Speech to generate pronunciation-aware synthetic clinical audio without requiring real patient recordings. The workflow guides developers through defining a clinical profile, expanding seed terms into SSML-annotated sentences with IPA phoneme markup, synthesizing audio via Magpie TTS, and evaluating ASR quality using WER, CER, KER, and SER metrics. A manual pronunciation review loop handles terms missing from dictionaries. The flywheel routes developers to the right next step — more data, pronunciation fixes, or model fine-tuning — based on entity-level error patterns rather than aggregate scores alone. Limitations include the small benchmark size and the need for real-world audio for production validation. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
