Project Structure
The Gender Node only needs audio input. The audio doesn't have to be segmented. So, you can place the gender node wherever the desired audio is flowing through. A simple project can be built as such:
However, a better approach would be:
Why this approach is better:
In the second example, the only difference is that we pass the audio through a VAD node. This means the audio is filtered. The only audio info that passes through a VAD is speech info. This approach will result in better confidence levels in Gender identification since random silences are cleared.
Supported flow types
