Description

Implement speaker diarization for the existing mlx whisper support to:

  1. Enhance transcription accuracy in multi-speaker conversations
  2. Distinguish between different speakers in the output
  3. Improve overall usability of the transcription feature

This addition will provide more insightful and structured transcripts, making it easier to analyze and understand complex audio content. Thanks
