Overview

Speaker labels improve readability and make transcripts easier to follow.

Rename speakers

1. Open the transcript editor.
2. Replace Speaker 1 and Speaker 2 with real names.
3. Review for consistency across the transcript.

Clean up overlaps

• Merge duplicate speakers if the same voice is split.
• Fix short interruptions so the transcript reads smoothly.

Finalize

Export after labels are updated so subtitles and documents use the correct names.

Speaker labeling strategy

Label speakers as early as possible in the editing process. Accurate speaker names improve readability and reduce confusion when teams quote transcript sections later.

1. Start by identifying recurring speakers in the first minutes.
2. Rename generic labels (Speaker 1, Speaker 2) immediately.
3. Use consistent name format across all sessions.
4. Double-check sections with overlapping dialogue.

Final verification checklist

• Scan for label swaps after long pauses or topic shifts.
• Confirm guest names and titles are spelled correctly.
• Validate quotes copied into summaries match speaker labels.
• Lock final transcript before sharing externally.
