7.1 Demo Mode & Sample Files

The application includes a demo mode for testing without waiting for full model processing:

Demo files are automatically downloaded at startup (if missing) into demo_audio/ and preprocessed into demo_results/ for quick responses.
Available demos:
- Yuri_Kizaki.mp3 — Japanese narration about website communication
- Film_Podcast.mp3 — French podcast discussing films like The Social Network
- Tamil_Wikipedia_Interview.ogg — Tamil language interview (36+ minutes)
- Car_Trouble.mp3 — Conversation about waiting for a mechanic and basic assistance (2:45)
Static serving: demo audio is exposed at /demo_audio/<filename> for local preview.
The UI provides enhanced selectable cards under Demo Mode; once selected, the system loads a preview and renders a waveform using HTML5 Canvas (Web Audio API) before processing.

These cached demo results provide quick access to transcript, translation, and analytics when using Demo Mode.

8. Core Components

Audio Intelligence Pipeline: The main.py module implements a comprehensive audio processing pipeline that orchestrates speaker diarization, speech recognition, neural translation, and advanced enhancements. It features advanced preprocessing with noise reduction, model selection, progress tracking, and multi-format output generation with error handling and performance monitoring.
Advanced Speaker Diarization: The speaker_diarizer.py module uses pyannote.audio 3.1 for speaker identification with clustering algorithms, voice activity detection, and speaker embedding extraction. The speaker_verifier.py module extends this with advanced speaker verification using SpeechBrain, Wav2Vec2, and enhanced feature extraction for robust speaker identification and verification.
Multilingual Speech Recognition: The speech_recognizer.py module integrates faster-whisper for automatic speech recognition supporting 99+ languages with language identification, word-level timestamps, and confidence scoring. Features include VAD-based processing, batch optimization, and INT8 quantization.
Multi-Tier Neural Machine Translation: The translator.py module provides translation capabilities using a 3-tier system:
- Tier 1: Helsinki-NLP Opus-MT models for supported language pairs
- Tier 2: Google Translate API alternatives (googletrans, deep-translator) for broad coverage
- Tier 3: mBART50 multilingual model for offline fallback and code-switching support
- Features dynamic model loading, caching strategies, and quality assessment through confidence scoring.
Web Interface: The templates/index.html implements a responsive interface featuring dual processing modes (demo/full), real-time progress tracking, interactive visualizations, and result presentation with multiple export options.
Advanced Noise Reduction: The noise_reduction.py module provides advanced speech enhancement using machine learning models (SpeechBrain Sepformer, Demucs) and sophisticated signal processing techniques including adaptive spectral subtraction, Kalman filtering, non-local means denoising, and wavelet denoising for SNR -5 to 20 dB operation.
Model Preloading System: The model_preloader.py module provides model downloading and caching with progress visualization, dependency verification, system optimization, and error handling for deployment.
