Differential Speckle Interferometry (DSI) combines high angular resolution techniques with medium to high resolution spectroscopy. For non resolved sources, it yields the displacement of the object photocenter with wavelength. Combined with the spectrum s (λ), can give information with spatial and/or spectral resolution well beyond the telescope or spectrograph limits. This complementarity is illustrated here with experimental results. For the binary system Capella, we measure the angular separation, separate the spectra of the components and derive the radial velocity difference and the rotation velocity of each component. For the slowly rotating star Aldebaran we obtain the position angle of the stellar rotation axis and a relation between the angular diameter and the rotation velocity which in this case gives the latest.
