Using pyannote.audio open-source toolkit in production?
Consider switching to pyannoteAI for better and faster options.

pyannote.audio speaker diarization toolkit

pyannote.audio is an open-source toolkit written in Python for speaker diarization. Based on PyTorch machine learning framework, it comes with state-of-the-art pretrained models and pipelines, that can be further finetuned to your own data for even better performance.

TL;DR

  1. Install pyannote.audio with pip install pyannote.audio
  2. Accept pyannote/segmentation-3.0 user conditions
  3. Accept pyannote/speaker-diarization-3.1 user conditions
  4. Create access token at hf.co/settings/tokens.
from pyannote.audio import Pipeline
pipeline = Pipeline.from_pretrained(
    "pyannote/speaker-diarization-3.1",
    use_auth_token="HUGGINGFACE_ACCESS_TOKEN_GOES_HERE")

# send pipeline to GPU (when available)
import torch
pipeline.to(torch.device("cuda"))

# apply pretrained pipeline
diarization = pipeline("audio.wav")

# print the result
for turn, _, speaker in diarization.itertracks(yield_label=True):
    print(f"start={turn.start:.1f}s stop={turn.end:.1f}s speaker_{speaker}")
# start=0.2s stop=1.5s speaker_0
# start=1.8s stop=3.9s speaker_1
# start=4.2s stop=5.7s speaker_0
# ...
