Auto speaker labeling separates speech by speaker in your transcript. If you add your own voice profile, Plaud can automatically label your speech with your name. Plaud does not automatically identify other speakers. They appear as Speaker 1, Speaker 2, and so on. You can name them manually, and those names apply only to that recording.
Applies to: v4.0.x or later. Still using v3.30.x or earlier Plaud Web? See Auto speaker labeling.
How to enable it?
- Click your workspace name in the top-left corner and go to Settings → Preferences. In the Generation section, click Auto speaker labeling.
- Turn on Label my voice automatically. This turns on speaker labeling for new recordings: Plaud separates the speakers and, if you've added your voice profile, labels you automatically. When it's off, new transcripts don't include speaker labels, including yours. Optionally, turn on Sync voice profile across devices to keep your voice profile updated across all your signed-in devices. If you turn off sync later, your voice profile is removed from the cloud.
- Under Your voice profile, click Add your voice profile: name it and speak for at least 30 seconds for the best accuracy. You can delete the profile anytime.
Good to know
- It works from voice, not content, so any language is fine.
- Labels apply at transcription time only; re-transcribe older files to label them.
- Other speakers don't need profiles. They're labeled Speaker 1, Speaker 2, and so on, and you can name them in each recording. Names you add apply to that recording only.
- Re-transcribing a recording removes the speaker names you've added and resets the labels to Speaker 1, Speaker 2, and so on. If you've added your voice profile, Plaud still labels you automatically.
- When a calendar event is linked, you can choose names from its participants. Plaud doesn't automatically match participants to speakers.
