Tired of spending countless hours editing multi-person webinars and videos in your transcripts, or repeatedly typing in speaker details for every video? We’ve got you covered with our seamless speaker identification and speaker library features, making your content more accessible, easier to read, and your workflow a whole lot faster.
How does it work?
-
Speaker identification: Any of your transcripts (automatically generated, human-reviewed, and uploaded) will now automatically* detect and label different speakers in your video. Once your transcript is ready, it will automatically separate out into Speaker 1 and Speaker 2 or suggest speaker names based on metadata.
* You can disable this feature for individual videos or at the account level by going to Settings → Account
- Speaker library: Head to your Settings and scroll down to Speakers on the left-hand panel to add or edit speakers for your library. Once added, you can easily label speakers in your transcript or add them to your library directly from updates to the transcript.
With these changes, your transcripts will have greater readability and accessibility, making it simple to track who said what and keep your audience engaged from start to finish.
Ready to try it out?
Speaker identification and speaker library are available on all Wistia plans. Open any video with multiple speakers and head to the transcript to assign names from your speaker library or add new ones.
