Speaker separation: automatically identify who spoke
Speaker separation is an AI capability that determines which parts of a recording belong to different speakers, then organizes the transcript by speaker.
- Standard transcripts: One long block of text that’s hard to follow.
- Taption transcripts: Segmented by speaker—easy to read like a script.
Especially useful for interviews, board meetings, and podcasts—reducing the time spent verifying who said what.
Best practices to improve accuracy and segmentation
Accuracy depends heavily on audio quality. For better meeting minutes:
- Use a quality microphone: Avoid laptop mics when possible and keep speakers close to the mic.
- Reduce background noise: Record in quieter rooms and avoid music or loud environments.
- Limit overlapping speech: When multiple people talk at once, separation becomes harder—take turns when possible.
Multiple inputs and export options
Input: Upload audio/video files (MP4/MOV/AVI/WMV/FLV/MPEG/MPG/OGG/MP3/WAV/M4A) or paste YouTube/Google Drive links.
Output:
- Transcripts: TXT, PDF (with speaker labels and timestamps)
- Subtitles & editing: SRT, VTT, FCPXML (speaker labels supported)
- Burned-in captions: MP4
More than transcription — a meeting transcript editor
After transcription, you can use Taption’s editor to:
- Search keywords and instantly find what “Finance” or “PM” said.
- Highlight key moments and take notes in-context.
- Share a link with teammates to collaborate on meeting minutes.
Upload a meeting recording or video
Import files from your device, YouTube, Google Drive, or Zoom. Supports MP4, MOV, AVI, WMV, FLV, MPEG, MPG, OGG, MP3, WAV, M4A, and more.
Enable speaker identification
Taption automatically separates speakers based on voice characteristics and labels each segment—so multi-speaker conversations don’t turn into one long block of text.
Rename speakers and export
Replace "Speaker 1 / Speaker 2" with real names or roles (Host, PM, Finance), then export speaker-labeled TXT/PDF transcripts or SRT/VTT subtitles—and optionally generate burned-in MP4 captions.

Speaker identification & meeting transcription FAQ
How do I transcribe an audio file and automatically separate speakers?
Upload an MP3 or WAV recording and enable Taption’s speaker identification. Taption will automatically separate speakers and transcribe each segment into text—ideal for meetings, interviews, and group discussions.Does it work for North American English and mixed-language meetings?
Yes. Taption supports English and mixed-language conversations (for example, meetings with English plus other languages). It works best for 2–10 speakers and can handle Zoom/Teams-style recordings where people take turns speaking.How can I quickly label executives, roles, or departments in meeting minutes?
Taption first labels speakers as “Speaker 1,” “Speaker 2,” etc. After transcription, you can rename speakers once (e.g., “Speaker 1” → “CFO”) and the name updates everywhere—making meeting minutes instantly clearer and more professional.Can I keep speaker names in subtitles for interviews and videos?
