What is speaker identity?
Splitting “someone spoke” is only half the job. Identity puts a name on the line and can remember that person next time, all on your computer.

That is how you search by person, extract accurate quotes, and brief someone who missed the meeting without guessing whose voice is whose.
What it means in practice
- Names on transcript lines, not an anonymous wall of text.
- Familiar voices can stay labeled across sessions on your computer.
- Easier quotes for articles, research, and follow-ups.
Diarisation and identity are not the same
Two jobs hide inside one word. Splitting the audio into turns says that a new person started talking. Identity says which person, and remembers them next time.
- Diarisation splits a recording into turns and labels them Speaker 1, Speaker 2.
- Identity attaches a real name to a voice you have named before.
- The first is automatic. The second starts the moment you name someone.
