+ This example demonstrates using Speechmatics Speech-to-Text and Text-to-Speech services
+ with speaker diarization and intelligent speaker management. Key features:
- 1. Speaker Diarization
+ 1. Speaker Diarization (STT)
- Automatically identifies and distinguishes between different speakers
- First speaker is identified as 'S1', others get subsequent IDs
- Uses `enable_diarization` parameter to manage speaker detection
- 2. Smart Speaker Control
+ 2. Smart Speaker Control (STT)
- `focus_speakers` parameter lets you target specific speakers (e.g. ["S1"])
- Other speakers will be wrapped in PASSIVE tags
- Only processes speech from focused speakers
- Words from all speakers are wrapped with XML tags for clear speaker identification
- Other speakers' speech only sent when focused speaker is active
- 3. Voice Activity Detection
+ 3. Voice Activity Detection (STT)
- Built-in VAD using `enable_vad` parameter
- Remove `vad_analyzer` from `transport` config to use module's VAD
- Emits speaker started/stopped events
- 4. Configuration Options
+ 4. Text-to-Speech (TTS)
+ - Low latency streaming audio synthesis
+ - Multiple voice options available including `sarah`, `theo`, and `megan`
+
+ 5. Configuration Options
- `operating_point` parameter defaults to `ENHANCED` for optimal accuracy
- Configurable `end_of_utterance_silence_trigger` (default 0.5s)
- Customizable speaker formatting
- Additional diarization settings available
- For detailed information about operating points and configuration:
