+## Does pyannote support streaming speaker diarization?
+
+**Short answer:** not out of the box, no.
+
+**Long answer:** [I](https://herve.niderb.fr) am looking for sponsors to add this feature. In the meantime, [`diart`](https://github.com/juanmc2005/StreamingSpeakerDiarization) is the closest you can get from a streaming `pyannote.audio`. You might also be interested in [this blog post](https://herve.niderb.fr/fastpages/2021/08/05/Streaming-voice-activity-detection-with-pyannote.html) about streaming voice activity detection based on `pyannote.audio`.
+
+<a name="how-can-i-improve-performance"></a>
+## How can I improve performance?
+
+**Long answer:**
 
 1. Manually annotate dozens of conversations as precisely as possible.
 2. Separate them into train (80%), development (10%) and test (10%) subsets.
 3. Setup the data for use with [`pyannote.database`](https://github.com/pyannote/pyannote-database#speaker-diarization).
 4. Follow [this recipe](https://github.com/pyannote/pyannote-audio/blob/develop/tutorials/adapting_pretrained_pipeline.ipynb).
 5. Enjoy.

 ## Benchmark
 
 Out of the box, `pyannote.audio` default speaker diarization [pipeline](https://hf.co/pyannote/speaker-diarization) is expected to be much better (and faster) in v2.x than in v1.1. Those numbers are diarization error rates (in %)
