Feature · Speaker labels
Knows who said what.
Recorder doesn’t just hear words — it separates voices. Every line of the transcript is labelled by speaker, so conversations stay crystal clear long after everyone’s left the room.
- Speaker A So where did we land on the launch date?
- Speaker B Marketing wants the 14th, but engineering needs one more week.
- Speaker A Then let’s lock the 21st and tell the team today.
- Speaker B Done — I’ll send the note this afternoon.
Why speaker labels change everything
A transcript without speakers is a wall of text. You can read it, but you can’t use it: who agreed to the deadline? Which quote belongs to the interviewee? Who raised the objection? Speaker diarization — the technical name for separating voices in audio — answers those questions automatically. Record and Transcribe runs it on every memo, so the transcript arrives already structured as a conversation.
Where it earns its keep
- Interviews — quotes stay attributable. You’ll never wonder which answer came from which participant.
- Meetings — decisions and owners are visible in the text. Pair it with Pro summaries and the action items name their people.
- Lectures & seminars — the professor’s thread stays separate from questions in the room.
No setup, no profiles
There is nothing to configure. The separation happens from the audio itself as part of automatic transcription, whether you recorded on iPhone or from your Apple Watch. Record the conversation; read it back as one.
Frequently asked questions
What is speaker identification (diarization)?
Speaker diarization is the process of separating an audio recording into segments by who is speaking. In Record and Transcribe, it means every line of your transcript carries a speaker label automatically — no manual tagging.
Do I need to set up voice profiles first?
No. The engine separates voices from the recording itself. Start recording a conversation and the transcript comes back already labelled by speaker.
How many speakers can it handle?
It is designed for real-world conversations — meetings, interviews, calls with several participants. Distinct voices and reasonable audio quality give the cleanest separation.
Does Apple’s Voice Memos app label speakers?
Apple’s built-in Voice Memos offers transcripts on recent iPhones, but the transcript is one continuous block of text without speaker labels. Speaker-labelled transcripts are the core of Record and Transcribe.
Every voice, on the record.
