Transcription & speech recognition
Speaker labels
Speaker labels are the per-turn tags in a transcript — 'Speaker 1', 'Interviewer', or a real name — produced by diarization and optionally renamed by a human or an identification step.
Good tools let you rename a label once and apply it everywhere. Label errors cluster in cross-talk and short interjections, so a quick scan of turn boundaries is the highest-value review step for multi-speaker audio.
