Speaker Diarization: Identifying speakers and tracking their emotions with Imentiv AI

As emotions become more and more central to our way of communicating in a digital world, capturing them as they are shared can also play an important role. Imentiv AI, our advanced emotion analysis platform will take you beneath the surface by providing in-depth emotional breakdowns from video/image/audio/text uploads. Its audio analysis also includes speaker diarization (where you separate a single audio signal into distinct voices). This would make it possible to have a more accurate understanding of how every speaker feels and provide an obvious way for us all to interpret conversations.

What is Speaker Diarization?

You can think of speaker diarizatiion as breaking down an audio file into discrete segments based on the speaker. This feature answers questions like "Who spoke when?" and "What was the emotion conveyed by each speaker?" By isolating individual voices, Imentiv AI offers granular insights into how emotions fluctuate across speakers in the same recording.

Key Features of Imentiv AI's Audio Analysis

1. Speaker Diarization & Identification

At the core of the audio feature is speaker diarization. It identifies each speaker in the audio and segments the conversation accordingly. This allows users to not only understand the overall emotion but also analyze the exact timing of when each speaker talked, their specific emotional tone, and how their mood evolved. 

Knowing who said what is essential for accurate analysis, whether in a podcast, meeting, or interview.

2. Emotion Analysis using the 8 Major Emotions

Following the speakers identified, Imentiv AI listens more deeply to audio for signs of emotion. The platform detects and interprets 8 of the major emotions in the audio with both overall and segmented insights. You can see how different parts of the conversation carry different emotional tones and track these shifts with emotion graphs. 

This information may be highly useful in customer services, interviews, or focus groups.

3. Text Emotion Analysis

Apart from splitting the speakers, Imentiv AI can also provide text emotion analysis in which the spoken words are translated and analyzed to decode emotional content. It delves deeper into every sentence by publishing the outcome in a graph of 28 emotions. The user can access summaries of the audio's emotional tone and also segment-by-segment emotions for each speaker.

4. Detailed Analytics and Emotion Graphs

Imentiv AI’s audio feature offers detailed analytics for every speaker. By combining speaker identification with emotion detection, the platform generates in-depth emotion graphs. These graphs allow users to see the peaks and troughs of emotions throughout the conversation. You can easily identify moments of heightened arousal, moments of calm, or specific shifts in mood.

5. Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR)

Another crucial aspect of Imentiv AI’s speaker diarisation feature is its automatic speech recognition (ASR) capability. This ensures that the spoken words are transcribed with high accuracy, enabling precise emotional analysis. Whether you're analyzing a business meeting or a podcast, the combination of ASR and emotion detection gives you a full understanding of not just what was said, but how it was said.

Why Speaker Diarization Matters

In today’s world of complex conversations and media, understanding the emotions behind spoken words is critical. With speaker diarization, Imentiv AI allows you to identify and analyze the emotions of multiple speakers. This feature is particularly valuable in various settings:

• Customer Service: By analyzing customer interactions with multiple agents, speaker diarization can help organizations understand the emotions expressed by each party during the conversation. It identifies emotional shifts, such as frustration or satisfaction, and provides insights to improve service quality.
• Team Meetings & Webinars: In meetings involving several participants, speaker diarization tracks who is speaking and when highlighting any emotional changes across the discussion. This helps identify how emotions like excitement or disengagement impact productivity or decision-making.
• Focus Groups & Interviews: In focus group research or interviews, speaker diarisation segments and identifies each speaker’s emotional response to key topics. This gives businesses a clearer understanding of consumer sentiment, helping them fine-tune products or services based on emotional feedback.
• Podcast & Media Analysis: For podcasts or media programs with multiple speakers, diarisation allows creators to analyze emotional engagement levels across different segments, helping them understand audience response and adjust content accordingly.

Whether you're looking to gauge customer sentiment, improve interviews, or gain insights from focus group discussions, this feature offers a rich, multi-layered emotional landscape.

By leveraging speaker diarization, emotion AI, and automatic speech recognition, Imentiv AI provides a comprehensive tool for understanding emotions in any audio recording. As the platform continues to evolve, its audio analysis feature delivers not just a summary of emotions but a detailed, speaker-specific emotional breakdown—empowering users to gain deeper insights into their audio data.
