Question 1

What is speaker separation?

Accepted Answer

Speaker diarization automatically detects how many speakers are in an audio file and extracts each speaker's segments into a separate track. Ideal for podcasts, interviews, and meeting recordings where multiple people talk in turn.

Question 2

How is this different from vocal/instrument separation?

Accepted Answer

Vocal/instrument separation pulls vocals and accompaniment out of a song — that's for music. Speaker separation tells different speakers apart in a conversation. Two completely different tools.

Question 3

Can I specify the number of speakers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can give an exact number (e.g. 2/3/4 speakers) or leave it blank for auto-detection. If you already know how many speakers are present, specifying improves accuracy.
