TRANSCRIPTION: Please train the AI to actually split speakers

I mean come on, the AI transcriber was better at this last year. For the life of me I can’t grok how when going from an obviously male speaker to an obviously female speaker that the AI transcriber should combine the two as the same speaker. Now I get how ithe AI transcribert gets confused in a crosstalk situation. And for that there needs to be a razor blade tool for transcripts so I can split a block of transcription when a new speaker chimes in. And also a merge tool for transcripts so I can take two adjacent chunks of transcript by the same speaker and combine them. And a paragraph tool for transcripts for easier editing.

And I need to be able to edit speaker names again, no idea why this functionality was removed. C’mon “To edit speaker names, make changes in the Source transcript” I’m literally editing the source transcript.

@DemSign,

 

Agreed; speaker identification needs work.

 

To edit speakers and to use split and merge operations on transcripts, you must do that in the Source transcript view. Also, your "Unknown" speaker means that you did not use the "Yes, separate speaker" option when you create that transcription.

 

If I have multiple speakers in one clip, I edit the names so I know who it is. When you bring multiple clips into your sequence, the names still show. If there are misidentification and multiple clips, I might name the potentially confusing reference by name and clip. For example, if there is a clip that is all John, except for a few comments by Joe, I might name the Joe speaker there "Joe in John."

 

See my post here for the current merge/split behaviors:
