How to fix speaker names

When Thout can't identify who was talking, it labels turns generically (for example SPEAKER_25). You can correct these directly in the transcript.

Rename a speaker inline

  1. Click the speaker name on any turn.
  2. The name becomes an editable field with a ✗ (cancel) and ✓ (confirm) control. Every turn by that speaker updates together.
  3. Type the correct name and click ✓ to confirm, or ✗ to cancel.
J Jordan Lee

The sample run arrives Thursday, so packaging sign-off can happen Friday.

Updates all turns by this speaker

Inline speaker rename — an editable field with cancel and confirm controls.

Note: once a speaker has been identified, their turns show the real name (for example "Jordan Lee") instead of a generic label.

Transcript tips & FAQ

What do labels like "SPEAKER_25" mean?

Thout couldn't match that voice to a name, so it used a generic label. Click the label to rename it — see How to fix speaker names.

If I rename a speaker once, does it fix every line?

Yes. Renaming a speaker inline updates all of that speaker's turns in the transcript at once.

How do I get the transcript into a spreadsheet?

Use ⋯ > Download as CSV — each turn becomes a row with speaker and text.

Where is the transcript for a live meeting?

For an in-progress meeting, the transcript updates as the conversation continues. The full record is available on the Transcript page once the meeting is captured.

The transcript text looks garbled — why?

Transcription quality depends on the audio. Poor or overlapping audio can produce fragmented text; the meeting's insights flag this with a low-confidence badge (see the Insights & Analytics guide).
