![Identify who speaks when with pyannote](https://github.com/pyannote/.github/raw/main/profile/banner.jpg)


## 💚 Simply detect, segment, label, and separate speakers in any language

### 🎤 What is speaker diarization?

![Diarization](https://github.com/pyannote/.github/raw/main/profile/diarization.jpg)

**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`](https://github.com/pyannote/pyannote-audio) latest release available from ![Latest release](https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/pyannote-audio?color=059669) with either `uv` (recommended) or `pip`:

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

Enjoy state-of-the-art speaker diarization:

```python
# 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](https://hf.co/pyannote/speaker-diarization-community-1) to make the most of it.


### 🏆 State-of-the-art models

[`pyannoteAI`](https://www.pyannote.ai/) research team trains cutting-edge speaker diarization models, thanks to [**Jean Zay**](http://www.idris.fr/eng/jean-zay/) 🇫🇷 supercomputer managed by [**GENCI**](https://www.genci.fr/) 💚. They come in two flavors:

* [`pyannote.audio`](https://github.com/pyannote/pyannote-audio) open models available on [Huggingface](https://hf.co/pyannote) and used by 140k+ developers over the world ;
* premium models available on [`pyannoteAI` cloud](https://dashboard.pyannote.ai) (and on-premise for enterprise customers) that provide state-of-the-art speaker diarization as well as additional enterprise features.
