Should be better - also I had missed a 'pandas' on the first try 😅 |

Hi @olgeni, looks like your branch has some lint errors––try rebasing as these most likely come from the master branch. |
BREAKING CHANGE: Metrics functionality now requires explicit installation Previously, all metrics dependencies (pyannote, pandas, jiwer, etc.) were installed by default. This change moves them to an optional '[metrics]' extra to reduce the default installation footprint. Changes: - Move metrics dependencies to requirements-metrics.txt - Configure extras_require in setup.py for optional installation - Add graceful error handling in CLI when dependencies are missing - Update README with installation instructions for metrics features To use metrics functionality after this change: pip install speechmatics-python[metrics] This significantly reduces installation size and time for users who only need the core transcription features, while maintaining full functionality for those who need metrics capabilities.

The current dependency on pyannote significantly increases the installation timeand complexity for speechmatics-python. Specifically, pyannote introduces heavy dependencies (numpy, scipy, and others), which, when built from source, require extensive build times and additional tooling, including a Fortran compiler \o/
Since the pyannote dependency is only used within the asr_metrics module and does not appear necessary for typical usage scenarios of the SDK, making it optional would greatly streamline default installations 😅
So, I tried to make it optional and edited the asr_metrics cli to handle the case when it is missing (and made some tiny fixes).
