When you transcribe a recording, turn on Identify speakers before you tap Start, and each line is labelled with a speaker. To name a speaker, touch and hold a line and choose Assign Speaker. It works with both Apple's speech recognition and Whisper models.
How do I turn on speaker labels?
- Open a note with a recording, tap ✨ on the toolbar and choose Transcribe Audio.
- Check the Language, then turn on Identify speakers.
- Tap Start. Each line of the transcript is labelled with a speaker.
On a Mac, open the note’s AI menu, choose Transcribe audio and turn on Identify speakers.
Speaker labels work whether Noted uses Apple’s speech recognition or a Whisper model for your language.
How do I name a speaker?
Touch and hold a line in the transcript and choose Assign Speaker to give that speaker a name.
Does it work with imported recordings?
Yes. Import an audio or video file into a note (⋯ → Import), then transcribe it with Identify speakers turned on.
Is my audio sent anywhere?
No. Transcription runs on your device, so your recordings and transcripts stay private.
