extra_gated_prompt: "The collected information will help acquire a better knowledge of pyannote.audio userbase and help its maintainers apply for grants to improve it further. If you are an academic researcher, please cite the relevant papers in your own publications using the model. If you work for a company, please consider contributing back to pyannote.audio development (e.g. through unrestricted gifts). We also provide scientific consulting services around speaker diarization and machine listening."

# 🎹 Voice activity detection

Relies on pyannote.audio 2.1: see [installation instructions](https://github.com/pyannote/pyannote-audio#installation).


```python
# 1. visit huggingface.co/pyannote/segmentation and accept user conditions
# 2. visit huggingface.co/settings/tokens to create an access token
# 3. instantiate pretrained voice activity detection pipeline

from pyannote.audio import Pipeline
pipeline = Pipeline.from_pretrained("pyannote/voice-activity-detection",
                                    use_auth_token="ACCESS_TOKEN_GOES_HERE")
output = pipeline("audio.wav")

for speech in output.get_timeline().support():
    # active speech between speech.start and speech.end
    ...
```
