Identify speakers in audio automatically
Upload a meeting, interview or podcast and Hear2Text labels every line with its speaker: Speaker 1, Speaker 2 and so on, with no limit on how many, on every plan. Renaming and merging speakers, and adding them to your exports, are part of the paid Monthly and Yearly plans.
One label per voice, from start to finish
The whole recording is transcribed in one pass, so the voice that is Speaker 2 in the first minute is still Speaker 2 an hour later. Each line of the transcript carries its speaker and a timestamp; click a line and the player jumps to that moment so you can check who actually said it. On the paid plans you can rename a label to a real name and merge two labels that turned out to be the same person; moving a single line to a different speaker, when the model got it wrong, works on every plan.
Get StartedSee how the conversation was shared
A speakers panel shows each person's share of the recording, so you can see at a glance whether the interviewer talked more than the guest or one voice dominated the meeting. Hear2Text tells voices apart within a single recording only; it does not remember voices between recordings or recognise who someone is, so names are always yours to add.
Get StartedMulti-speaker audio, with and without speaker labels
| Feature | Without | With Hear2Text |
|---|---|---|
| Meetings with several people | One long block of text with no clue who said what | Every line marked Speaker 1, Speaker 2 and so on |
| Interview transcripts | Questions and answers run together | Interviewer and guest on separate, renamable labels |
| Podcast show notes | Replaying the episode to tell host from guest | A panel showing each speaker's share of the episode |
| Finding a quote | Scrubbing through the audio by ear | Search the transcript, click the line, hear it played |
Use Cases
Team meetings
See who raised each point and who agreed to what. Rename speakers to your colleagues' names and click a line to hear it again before writing the minutes.
Interviews and podcasts
Keep host and guest apart so you can pull quotes and write show notes without replaying the episode. The speakers panel shows how much each person talked.
Research interviews and focus groups
Separate participants in a group session and review what each one said. With many similar voices on one microphone, expect to correct some lines by hand.
How speaker identification works
You upload a file or paste a public link. The recording is transcribed and split by voice in one pass, then you tidy the labels in the browser. No setup, no voice samples, no language to pick.
- Step 01
Upload the recording
Upload audio or video up to 500 MB and 6 hours, or paste a public YouTube, Vimeo or Zoom cloud-recording share link. The language is detected automatically.
- Step 02
Voices are separated
The whole recording is analysed at once, so turns between speakers are found and each voice stays on the same label throughout.
- Step 03
Lines get speaker labels
Each line is marked Speaker 1, Speaker 2 and so on, with its timestamp. With only one voice, the label is hidden.
- Step 04
Rename and fix
On the paid plans, rename speakers to real names and merge duplicate labels. Moving a line to the right person works on every plan.
Key Features
Automatic speaker detection
Speakers are detected from the audio itself. Nothing to tag, no voice samples, no speaker count to enter beforehand.
Rename and merge speakers
On the paid plans, turn Speaker 1 into "Anna" in one step, and merge two labels that belong to the same person.
Consistent across the recording
One pass over the whole file keeps each voice on the same label from the first minute to the last.
Any number of speakers
No limit on speakers: two-person interviews, team meetings and panels all work. Clear audio separates best.
Fix lines by hand
Crosstalk and similar voices cause mistakes. Move any line to another speaker and edit the text in the browser.
Speakers in your downloads
On the paid plans, choose to add the speakers when you download: TXT, Word and PDF open each turn with the speaker's name, and SRT and VTT put it before each subtitle.
