Every plan · no surcharge for crosstalk
AudioPod separates overlapping voices with its AudioDiarize engine: where two people talk at once, it isolates each voice and patches it into that speaker's own track, so crosstalk is not left in both. It runs on every plan, including free Basic, at 330 credits per minute, with no extra charge for overlaps.

Compare
The same overlap, in a two-person recording, under each mode.
| Mode | Speaker A's track | Speaker B's track | Use it when |
|---|---|---|---|
| separate (default) | Only A's voice | Only B's voice | You will edit, level or transcribe each person on their own |
| duplicate | The mixed audio, both voices | The mixed audio, both voices | You want nothing processed: every track keeps exactly what was said over it |
| exclusive | The mixed audio, if A is the dominant speaker | Silent there | You want each moment in exactly one track, as in a cut-down edit |
How it works
Separating an overlap means deciding which voice belongs to whom. Where that cannot be done reliably, the stretch keeps the original audio:
FAQ
Yes. Where two speakers overlap, AudioPod isolates each voice and puts it in that speaker's own track. Each speaker is recognised from up to 60 seconds of their clean speech elsewhere in the file. Where it cannot tell the voices apart reliably, it keeps the original mixed audio for that stretch instead of guessing.
No. Speaker separation is 330 credits per minute of audio however much overlap the recording has. The free Basic plan's 5,000 monthly credits cover about 15.1 minutes. See pricing for plans.
They decide what happens to an overlap. Separate gives each speaker only their own voice. Duplicate leaves the mixed audio in every track that was talking. Exclusive keeps the mixed audio only in the dominant speaker's track and silences it in the others. Separate is the default; the API's overlap_mode parameter picks another.
For simultaneous voices that never take turns, use POST /api/v1/speaker/separate: it splits 2 to 4 overlapping voices and can isolate the vocals from the music first. For lead versus backing vocals in a song, the Stem Splitter's vocal splits are the better fit.
Overlaps under 0.25 seconds are left alone, and longer ones keep the mixed audio when the separation cannot be trusted — for example when one of the speakers never talks alone anywhere in the file.
