What is Speaker Diarization?
How It Works
Speaker diarization analyzes voice characteristics like pitch, tone, and speaking patterns to create unique voice profiles for each participant. These profiles are used to attribute speech segments to specific speakers.
The process typically involves voice activity detection (finding when someone speaks), feature extraction (analyzing voice characteristics), clustering (grouping similar voice segments), and labeling (assigning speaker identities).

Why It Matters
Speaker diarization is essential for meaningful meeting transcriptions. Knowing who said what transforms a generic transcript into an actionable meeting record.
It enables features like attributed action items, speaker-specific analytics, and accurate meeting minutes where each contribution is properly credited.
