How to tell which speaker? - Ang
Posted: Sep 14, 2013
I'm doing an interview transcription with 4 speakers and using the "text editor." I am new to interview transcription. Is there a way with the text editor to let the software tell which speaker it is once you have numbered them or do you have to do it yourself - by knowing their voices? Sorry if that is an "off the wall" question - I am having a hard time. TX!
How is the software - xx
[ In Reply To ..]going to know who the speaker is? Unless it is voice-recognition software.

[ In Reply To ..]Software cannot know more, or identify more, than you can. Voice recognition refers to the understanding of the spoken word - it cannot identify one speaker from another.
voice vs speech - just sayin
[ In Reply To ..]Technically, voice recognition IS the technology that identifies one speaker from another. Speech recognition is what most of us MTs are familiar with...a totally different animal.
found a solution - Ang
[ In Reply To ..]Thanks for the replies. I had read in part of the instructions that the text editor helped with identifying the speaker but was just about out of energy to wade through more tons of instructions. Found out on the forum for the company that you can just put "male" or "female" if in doubt - so that solved the problem. TX.

I am just starting out in transcription and I am needing help on how to set my speakers in order to hear better. I currently have my bass down and my treble up but is there anything else I can do cause when the doctors get to talking really fast and running their words together it is hard to make any sense of it at all ...
