+# Live Real-Time Speaker ID Example
+
+This example demonstrates how to use the Speechmatics Python SDK to perform speaker ID in real-time.
+
+The SDK requires an API key to be set as an environment variable before it can be used. You can obtain an API key by signing up for a Speechmatics account at https://portal.speechmatics.com/dashboard
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Install Speechmatics RT SDK: `pip install speechmatics-rt`
+- Export Speechmatics API key: `export SPEECHMATICS_API_KEY=YOUR-API-KEY`
