Description
This PR adds a new WhisperX Python backend that provides transcription with speaker diarization (identifying who is speaking), word-level timestamps, and forced alignment via pyannote-audio.
Closes #3375
Key changes:
TranscriptSegmentmessage with aspeakerfield (backward-compatible — existing backends leave it empty)Speakerfield through the Go schema (core/schema/transcription.go) and backend mapper (core/backend/transcript.go)backend/python/whisperx/backend with gRPC server, requirements for CPU/CUDA 12/CUDA 13/ROCm, and unit testsbackend/index.yaml, and CI workflowSpeaker diarization requires a HuggingFace token (
HF_TOKENenv var) with access to pyannote models, and is activated by settingdiarize=truein the transcription request.Notes for Reviewers
