Same speaker in multiple files

[ClayShoaf]

Is there any way to identify the same speaker in a different file? How about adding a label?

For example, let's say I have James who is speaking in audio1.wav and audio2.wav. Pyannote identifies him as SPEAKER_07 in audio1.wav. Is there any way to force pyannote to recocnize him as SPEAKER_07 when I run it on audio2.wav?

Not out of the box, no.

One straightforward solution would be to concatenate audio1.wav and audio2.wav into a longer audio1+2.wav file -- but that won't scale well with more audio files.

A more involved solution would be to

• run diarization on each file separately
• extract one speaker embedding for each speaker in each file
• do some kind of clustering on top of those embeddings to match speakers across files

How would you extract a speaker embedding?

Hey,

I am having the same issue.

@ClayShoaf were you able to find a solution? Did anything work for you?

Do you want to maybe have a quick chat about this on DM or something?

[ClayShoaf]

I was not able to figure it out and I'm working on other stuff now. Sorry

You can extract the embeddings using this module: https://huggingface.co/pyannote/embedding

This is an old thread but something of interest to me if anyone has come up with an easy solution. Will explore the suggestion by @bghorvath.

Just take a 10 seconds clip of James and add it to the audio2 file. Now perform SD on the file and you will get James as Speaker 0.

This would probably be the easiest solution for my purposes, for now, but it's not exaclty elegant, nor is it a great solution for working with a lot of files.
