Question · speakers and names

Does the transcript say who is speaking? Yes, in the summary, quotes and chapters.

Yes, in the parts built for reading: speakers are identified and named in the summary, the key quotes and the chapters, so you can see who made each point, while the full transcript itself runs as timestamped text rather than putting a name on every line. Packs start at $4 for 300 minutes, and credits never expire.

Where names appear

Speakers, named in the places you read first.

In the summary

The brief states the thesis and takeaways and says whose points they were: the guest who argued for the change, the chair who closed the item. For most readers that answers the question without opening the full text.

In the key quotes

The lines worth repeating are pulled out with the person who said them and the timestamp, so a quote can go into an article, minutes or a report and be checked against the recording in one click.

In the chapters

Each chapter marks a topic and shows who led that stretch of the recording, which turns a long panel or meeting into an outline of who spoke about what, and when.

Names come from the audio

When people introduce themselves or address each other by name, those names are available to use. If nobody says a name aloud, there is nothing in the sound to name them by. Upload from this page or the upload page.

What you actually need

Finding a person's words in hours of talk.

✗ Reading everything to find one voice

Without an outline, attributing a point means listening back or scrolling through the full text.

  • Replaying audio to recognise a voice
  • Guessing who raised an objection
  • Quotes credited to the wrong person
  • Hours of text with no structure
  • Notes that miss who agreed to what
  • Long panels impossible to skim

✓ Starting from the named layer

The summary, quotes and chapters carry the names, and the timestamps lead to the exact moment.

  • Speakers named in the brief
  • Key quotes with the speaker and time
  • Chapters showing who led each part
  • Full transcript with timestamps
  • A chat to ask what someone said
  • Exports for minutes and articles

Sample output

From a recorded two-guest interview.

An illustrative excerpt of the full transcript, written for this page and not from a real recording. The names for these voices would appear in the summary, quotes and chapters.

00:00:35 Thanks to you both for coming in; maybe each of you could introduce yourselves.
00:00:49 Sure, I run the design team, and I've been there about six years.
00:27:14 I'd push back on that a little, because the timeline was never realistic.
00:58:02 If you had to sum up the project in one sentence, what would it be?

FAQ

Speakers and names, answered.

Where exactly do speaker names show up?

In the summary, the key quotes and the chapters, where speakers are identified and named. The full transcript is the spoken text with timestamps, which you can search and jump through.

Why does the full transcript not have a name on every line?

The output is built around reading a long recording quickly: the summary, quotes and chapters tell you whose point was whose, and the timestamps take you to the exact words. If you need a turn-by-turn record for an official purpose, this is not that kind of transcript.

How do I help it get names right?

Record the introductions. A meeting that starts with a round of names, or an interview where the host greets the guest by name, gives the recording the names to use. Clear audio with less crosstalk helps too.

Does it work on a long panel or meeting?

Yes. One file can run up to 10 hours or 5 GB and is transcribed at about 2 minutes per audio hour, so a 3-hour panel is ready in about 6 minutes, with the speakers named in its chapters.

Can I ask the chat what a particular person said?

Yes. The chat works over the transcript, so a question such as what the second guest said about budgets returns an answer pointing to the relevant part of the recording.

What does it cost, and is the audio private?

A 2-hour interview is 120 minutes, on the $4 pack (300 minutes) after the free preview of the opening minutes; credits never expire. Interviews and meetings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training.
