Speaker Identification
Cadeo automatically identifies different speakers in your recordings, labeling transcript segments so you know who said what.
Automatic Identification
Speaker identification works differently by platform:
| Platform | Method | Quality |
|---|---|---|
| Desktop (sherpa-onnx) | Native diarization | Best — identifies speakers automatically |
| Web (AssemblyAI cloud) | Cloud diarization | Excellent — included with cloud transcription |
| Web (local Whisper) | Basic separation | Limited — depends on audio quality |
Matching Speakers to Attendees
For meetings linked to calendar events with attendees, a Match Speakers to Attendees card appears above the transcript.
- Each speaker label (e.g., "Speaker 0", "Speaker 1") has a dropdown
- Select the matching attendee name from the event's attendee list
- Click Apply Matches to update the transcript with real names
The card can be dismissed and won't reappear for that recording.
Transcript Display
Each transcript segment shows:
- Speaker name (or label if not yet matched)
- Timestamp
- Text content
The transcript is fully searchable — find who said what and when.
