Speaker partitioning overlap times

Question

In the [documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/transcribe/latest/dg/conversation-diarization-med.html) for speaker partitioning, it mentions:
> Utterances that overlap in the input audio don't overlap in the transcription output.

Does this mean that the transcribed text itself does not overlap? Or will the times never overlap?

For example, if Speaker A has times 1 -> 5 and Speaker B has times 3 -> 7, how will these times appear in the transcription output?

In tests, I have not been able to see these times represented accurately with overlap. Is it possible to change settings to allow for this?

Answer

Hi,

The [documentation says](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/transcribe/latest/dg/conversation-diarization-med.html)

```
If an utterance from one speaker overlaps with an utterance from another speaker, Amazon Transcribe 
Medical orders them in the transcription by their start times. Utterances that overlap in the input audio 
don't overlap in the transcription output.
```

So, the ones who starts speaking first by start time is transcribed first for his full utterance and the comes the ones who started second.

Best,

Didier
