Overview
pyannote.ai is a state-of-the-art speaker intelligence and diarization platform that enables developers and enterprises to detect, segment, label, and separate speakers from audio recordings — in any language. Built on over a decade of academic research, the platform offers industry-leading accuracy, real-time capabilities, and flexible deployment for use cases ranging from transcription to dubbing and real-time translation.
Key Features
- Speaker Diarization
Accurately partitions multi-speaker conversations, assigning timestamps to each unique speaker. - Speaker Identification
Tracks specific speakers across multiple recordings using voiceprints. - Overlapping Speech Detection
Detects when multiple people speak simultaneously — a critical feature for real-world applications. - Voice Activity Detection (VAD)
Pinpoints when speech begins and ends, separating silence from speaker activity. - Speaker Separation
Isolates overlapping voices to produce clean, distinct audio tracks for each speaker. - Confidence Scoring
Assigns scores to speaker labels to help humans focus only where manual review is needed. - Language-Agnostic
Works with any spoken language, making it ideal for global and multilingual use cases. - Real-Time Streaming Support
Enables instant speaker tracking and transcription for live events, content localization, and streaming platforms.
