Короткий ответ
VAD removes silence and splits speech regions; diarization separates operator and client speakers so extraction can focus on customer acceptance and final negotiated slot.
Полный разбор
Voice Activity Detection identifies regions containing speech. It reduces compute, removes silence and makes ASR chunks shorter and more stable. In a call pipeline, VAD can also support early routing because very short speech patterns often correspond to quick rejections.
Diarization assigns speaker labels to speech segments. For appointment extraction, it matters because the operator may propose several branches or times, while the customer acceptance is the decisive signal. Separating operator and client turns helps the extractor distinguish proposals from confirmations.
Use VAD before ASR to segment audio, then ASR with timestamps, then diarization or speaker-aware ASR depending on the available model. The downstream prompt or extraction model should preserve speaker labels and timestamps as evidence.
Теория
Speech preprocessing is not cosmetic; it changes cost, context length and the semantics available to the extractor.
Типичные ошибки
- Transcribe full audio including long silence with one heavy model call.
- Ignore who said the accepted time or branch.
- Assume diarization is always solved by the ASR model.
- Lose timestamps before extraction and debugging.
Как отвечать на собеседовании
- Define VAD and diarization separately.
- Tie diarization to operator proposal versus customer confirmation.
