🎤 What is speaker diarization?

Diarization

Speaker diarization is the process of automatically partitioning the audio recording of a conversation into segments and labeling them by speaker, answering the question "who spoke when?". As the foundational layer of conversational AI, speaker diarization provides high-level insights for human-human and human-machine conversations, and unlocks a wide range of downstream applications: meeting transcription, call center analytics, voice agents, video dubbing.

▶️ Getting started

Install pyannote.audio latest release available from Latest release with either uv (recommended) or pip:

$ uv add pyannote.audio
$ pip install pyannote.audio

Enjoy state-of-the-art speaker diarization:

# download pretrained pipeline from Huggingface
from pyannote.audio import Pipeline
pipeline = Pipeline.from_pretrained('pyannote/speaker-diarization-community-1', token="HUGGINGFACE_TOKEN")

# perform speaker diarization locally
output = pipeline('/path/to/audio.wav')

# enjoy state-of-the-art speaker diarization
for turn, speaker in output.speaker_diarization:
    print(f"{speaker} speaks between t={turn.start}s and t={turn.end}s")

Read community-1 model card to make the most of it.
