Summary
Adds
<Warning>callouts to both the Multichannel Transcription and Speaker Diarization docs pages noting thatspeaker_options(min_speakers_expected/max_speakers_expected) are applied per channel, not globally, whenmultichannel: trueandspeaker_labels: trueare used together.This was flagged internally as a major customer gotcha — e.g. setting
min=5, max=7on a 5-channel file results in 25–35 total speakers, not 5–7.Files changed:
fern/pages/speech-to-text/pre-recorded-audio/multichannel-transcription.mdx— warning added in the "Per-channel diarization" sectionfern/pages/speech-to-text/pre-recorded-audio/speaker-diarization.mdx— warning added in the "Set a range of possible speakers" sectionReview & Testing Checklist for Human
speaker_optionsare indeed applied per-channel (not globally) when multichannel is enabled. This claim comes from an internal investigation but should be validated by someone familiar with the diarization backend.<Warning>blocks render correctly and the cross-link from the speaker diarization page to the multichannel page resolves properly (/docs/speech-to-text/pre-recorded-audio/multichannel-transcription).Notes
