Voice Activity Detection (VAD)
Detect speech segments in audio using VAD tools like Silero VAD, SpeechBrain VAD, or WebRTC VAD. Use when preprocessing audio for speaker diarization, filtering silence, or segmenting audio into speech chunks. Choose Silero VAD for short segments, SpeechBrain VAD for general purpose, or WebRTC VAD for lightweight applications.

# Voice Activity Detection (VAD)
## Overview
Voice Activity Detection identifies which parts of an audio signal contain speech versus silence or background noise. This is a critical first step in speaker diarization pipelines.
## When to Use
- Preprocessing audio before speaker diarization
- Filtering out silence and noise
- Segmenting audio into speech chunks
- Improving diarization accuracy by focusing on speech regions
## Available VAD Tools
