Right, we noticed similar findings. We do automatic punctuation now, and do diarization when there is more than one channel in the audio file. We're launching diarization on single channel audio with multiple speakers very soon. We're currently focused on improving some of our customization features, and then we plan to ship single channel diarization.

Thanks for sharing your results! We have more samples here if you want to do more comparisons: https://blog.assemblyai.com/2018/08/09/cutting-edge-phone-ca...

That's great. We have really struggled with diarization. None of the systems out there actually work! We get close but still mess it up from time to time.

Here are the results on the other files.

  4333.mp3: Oh yeah, it's still pretty tight, though. It's very challenging. They actually pull everything out of your.

  7510.mp3: Demons on TV like that. And for people to expose themselves to being rejected on TV or humiliated by fear factor or.

  8036.mp3: Well, I feel like as far as... as far as cursing and language, because I feel like as long as it's not necessarily in context, but.

  8522.mp3: Stuff to you, so you don't have to spend any body. He.

I've been working on the problem of speaker diarization in the wild for better part of this year. Would love to have a chat with you to see if our diarization utility can help you guys out. Here is the link: https://www.deepaffects.com/apis
