What is voice-activity-detection?
Voice Activity Detection (VAD) is a crucial component in audio processing that automatically detects the presence or absence of human speech in an audio signal. This implementation uses the PyanNet architecture from the pyannote-audio framework, specifically designed for robust speech detection across various acoustic conditions.
Implementation Details
The model is implemented using PyTorch and integrates with the pyannote-audio framework. It utilizes the PyanNet architecture, which is specifically optimized for speaker diarization tasks. The model can be easily deployed using the pyannote.audio.core.inference module and supports both CPU and CUDA acceleration.
