Interview Transcripts with Every Speaker Named Automatically
When an interview ends, are you still replaying the recording from the start, splitting every line into "my question" and "their answer"? If turning a one-hour interview into a transcript eats half your day, there's never enough time left to pull out the insights that matter.
Writing an interview transcript means putting the conversation into text and making clear who said what. daglo remembers who said it. Speaker ID in daglo, the first of its kind offered to everyday users in Korea, remembers the voices of interviewers and teammates and adds their names to your transcripts automatically.
How Speaker ID changes interview transcripts
With Speaker ID on, daglo puts real names on the voices it remembers. Your name and the names of teammates who interview with you appear automatically, and someone you're meeting for the first time only needs to be named once.
| Before | With Speaker ID | |
|---|---|---|
| Separating questions and answers | Replay the recording and split it line by line | The interviewer's name appears automatically |
| Interviews with a teammate | Hard to tell who asked which question | Your teammate's name is added too |
| Regular panels and recurring sources | Type the same names in every time | Recognized from voices daglo remembers |
| Sharing the transcript | Only after every name is fixed | As soon as transcription finishes |
The result is a transcript you can share with your team right away, without an extra pass to fix labels. That time goes back into what interviews are really for: listening closely, asking better follow-up questions, and turning what people said into decisions your team can act on.
User interviews: see the researcher and participant at a glance
In user research, insights come from separating the researcher's questions from the participant's answers. When the researcher's name is filled in automatically, reading only what the participant said becomes much easier.
- How to use it: name the researcher and the note-taking teammate who join every session a few times, and from then on both names appear automatically in each new interview.
- Ask Board Chat: "List only the frustrations and expectations the participant mentioned, and leave out the researcher's questions."
In group interviews with several participants, the moderator's and teammate's lines are already labeled, which makes it easier to compare what each participant said.
Reporting: get your regular sources' words right, names included
In a reporting transcript, knowing exactly who said what is what keeps a story accurate. When daglo remembers the voices of sources you talk to often and the colleagues who report alongside you, you can check the name first whenever you look for a quote.
- How to use it: name your regular sources and fellow reporters across a few interviews. From your next recording on, their names are added automatically.
- Ask Board Chat: "From what Professor Kim said, pull out only the sentences that include numbers or evidence."
Every quote stays connected to the original transcript, so you can check the surrounding context before it goes into your story.
In-person interviews: each interviewer's questions and the candidate's answers, clearly laid out
When several interviewers share a panel, a fair evaluation depends on knowing who asked which question. Once daglo remembers the interviewers' voices, it's easy to see which question each answer belongs to.
- How to use it: name the interviewers who sit on every panel a few times. After that, their names appear automatically, and you only need to name the candidate once.
- Ask Board Chat: "Summarize only what the candidate said about working on a team."
Hiring teams can then compare candidates side by side, each answer tied to the question and the interviewer who asked it.
How to set up Speaker ID
There's no separate voice recording to set up. Transcribe your interviews as usual and tell daglo who's who a few times. You can also read the Speaker ID launch post for an overview.
- Record an interview or upload a recording and transcribe it.
- In the transcript, tap Speaker 1 and change it to the person's real name.
- Name the same person in a few more interviews, and daglo shows a prompt saying it can now recognize their voice automatically.
- Click Enable, and from your next transcript on, that person's name appears automatically with an AI badge.
You can turn Speaker ID on or off for each person, or remove them, in Speaker management. And letting interviewees know in advance and getting their consent before you record helps everyone talk more comfortably.
