A media player with a novel interface allowing you to navigate by speaker.

• Visualize who speaks when & for how long
• Jump/skip speaker segments
• Set different playback speeds per speaker
• Auto-skip speakers

It's a better, more efficient way to listen to podcasts, interviews, press confrences etc.

Supports YouTube videos and your own local media files.

Visit the website for demo videos and screenshots of the UI/interface.

残心 / Zanshin is powered by the very fast Senko speaker diarization pipeline.
