Speaker Identification

This profile flag describes what Speaker Identification is in the Smart Formatting menu.

Imagine trying to transcribe a lively group discussion or a multi-person interview. You’ve recorded the conversation perfectly, the audio quality is pristine, and you're ready to start transcribing the file bright and early in the morning.

Morning arrives, you get your headset settled, and start playing the recording. Then you realize, this is a 4-person conversation. Cue the crosstalk, similar-sounding voices, and manually typing out your placeholder labels every time a different person starts speaking.

Moreover, there's no point running it through your standard speech-to-text software because it will just spit out the transcript in one long block of text. 

This is where Claudio steps in.

Claudio is equipped with a Speaker Identification feature that, when enabled, will automatically tag and differentiate between speakers in the transcript rather than spitting out a long block of text for you to separate. 

Activating Speaker Labels

To enable Speaker Labels in Claudio, follow these steps:

Via the Smart Format Form:
Enable the feature before submitting audio for transcription.

1. Click the gear icon in the top-right corner of the dashboard.
2. Select Profile from the dropdown menu.
3. Choose the desired profile from your enterprise’s list.
4. Scroll down to the Smart Format section.
5. Under Speaker Identification, select Add Speaker Labels.
6. Click Update in the top-right corner.

Once configured, any audio submitted with the updated profile will automatically apply speaker labeling.
