+This repository provides fast automatic speech recognition (70x realtime with large-v2) with word-level timestamps and speaker diarization.
 
 - ⚡️ Batched inference for 70x realtime transcription using whisper large-v2
 - 🪶 [faster-whisper](https://github.com/guillaumekln/faster-whisper) backend, requires <8GB gpu memory for large-v2 with beam_size=5
 - 🎯 Accurate word-level timestamps using wav2vec2 alignment
-- 👯‍♂️ Multispeaker ASR using speaker diarization from [pyannote-audio](https://github.com/pyannote/pyannote-audio) (labels each segment/word with speaker ID) 
+- 👯‍♂️ Multispeaker ASR using speaker diarization from [pyannote-audio](https://github.com/pyannote/pyannote-audio) (speaker ID labels) 
 - 🗣️ VAD preprocessing, reduces hallucination & batching with no WER degradation
