Identify speakers in your transcript: Speaker labels and VoiceID

Written by Laura Fuchs

Identify speakers in your transcript

Bliro gives you two ways to put names to the voices in your transcript. You can assign names yourself with speaker labels or let Bliro recognize your own voice automatically with VoiceID. This article covers both.

Speaker Labels (assign names yourself)

In a transcript, each speaker appears as a generic label - S1, S2, S3 and so on. Speaker labels let you replace those with real names.

  1. Open the meeting in the Bliro web app.

  2. On the right you can see your transcript.

  3. Click a speaker label (e.g. S1) above any speaker turn.

  4. Search for the person.

    • The speakers you can choose for labeling depend on the participant list of that meeting and on the people that are in your people list within Bliro. Additionally, if a person is neither in the participant list of that meeting nor in your people list you can add the persons name manually.

  5. Select them and confirm.

Every turn from that speaker is relabelled instantly across the whole transcript. Nothing to save, no reload. Assigned the wrong name? Click the name again and pick a different person, the correction propagates immediately.

If the name you pick is already assigned to another speaker, Bliro shows a "Speaker merge warning". Choose Merge & Assign only if both speaker turns really belong to the same person - Bliro then combines them under that name. If they are different people, tap Cancel, and the two speakers stay separate. However, be careful with merging speakers as this is permanent and cannot be undone.


VoiceID (assigns automatically - your voice only)

VoiceID goes one step further for your own turns. You enroll your voice once and from then on Bliro labels your turns with your name automatically, from the start of every call - no manual assignment for yourself.

What it does, precisely:

  • VoiceID identifies only you, the enrolled user. It separates what you say from what everyone else says in the meeting.

  • It does not identify other participants by voice. Even if a colleague has enrolled their own voice on their own account, they are not auto-named in your transcript. Everyone other than you appears as a generic speaker.

  • You still name those other speakers yourself with speaker labels.

To enroll:

  1. Open your Bliro settings on left bottom


  2. Click on your profile under account settings



  3. In your account settings scroll to the bottom, there you will find the section VoiceID

If you click on “Set up voiceID” you will be guided through the process of setting up your VoiceID. During the process you will be asked to speak aloud a little text in order to recognize your voice.


You can press “play” in order to hear the voice sample. If you wish to retake the voice sample based on that you click “retake” and a new sample will be taken.

It is important to note that you enroll based on your account’s primary language. However, VoiceID works across all your calls, no matter what language you are speaking in that call.

Once you are done the screen will show that your setup is completed. Now your voice will be recognized in your meetings!

Nevertheless, enrollment is always opt-in. You can delete your voice profile at any time from the same settings - deletion is immediate and permanent.



Together, speaker labels and VoiceID give every transcript a complete set of names. VoiceID handles your own turns automatically and speaker labels let you name everyone else - so you get a clear, share-ready transcript!
