Meeting Minutes: Stop Renaming Speaker 1 After Every Meeting

Still replaying the whole recording after every meeting to figure out whether Speaker 1 was your manager and Speaker 2 was the senior colleague from the next team? Fixing names can take as long as the meeting itself, and the part that actually matters, writing up decisions and action items, keeps getting pushed to the end of the day.

Good meeting minutes start with getting one thing right: who said what. Speaker ID in daglo, the first of its kind offered to everyday users in Korea, remembers the voices of the people in your meetings and adds their names to your next transcripts automatically. daglo remembers who said it. This guide shows how the person who usually takes the minutes, often the newest member of the team, can use Speaker ID to stop renaming speakers for good.

Why fixing attendee names takes so long

Transcription apps split a conversation into Speaker 1 and Speaker 2, but someone still had to tell the app who those people were. With Speaker ID turned on, daglo recognizes voices it has learned and fills in the names for you.

The most repetitive part of taking minutes simply disappears, which leaves more time for capturing decisions and next steps.

For the same team meeting every week: just hit record

A weekly meeting with the same group of people is where Speaker ID shines. Name your teammates for the first few weeks, and after that every recording comes back with names already in place.

• How to use it: after your first meeting, tap Speaker 1 and Speaker 2 in the transcript and change them to your teammates' names.
• Ask Board Chat: "List the tasks we agreed on today, with the name of the person responsible for each."

Because the names are already there, you can post the minutes to your team chat as soon as the meeting wraps up.

When meetings pile up: clear the backlog faster

On days with a morning check-in and an afternoon project meeting, fixing names is the first thing to fall behind. With Speaker ID on, names go in automatically for every meeting, so even a backlog of minutes gets done quickly.

• How to use it: start by naming the people who join your meetings most often. Assign the same person in a few different meetings and daglo learns their voice.
• Ask Board Chat: "Summarize only the points Minji raised in this meeting."

Once the regulars are recognized automatically, you only need to name the occasional guest, and even that takes a single tap.

When you report to your manager: no more "who said that?"

When your manager asks, "Whose idea was this?", you used to go back and dig through the recording. With names in your minutes, you can answer on the spot.

• How to use it: check the summary or your template summary alongside the transcript to see each decision and the person who proposed it at a glance.
• Ask Board Chat: "Make a table of the decisions from this meeting and who suggested each one."

It also makes your minutes more useful to people who missed the meeting, since they can see right away whose input shaped each decision.

How to set up Speaker ID

There's no separate voice recording to set up. Transcribe your meetings as usual and tell daglo who's who a few times.

1. In a finished transcript, tap Speaker 1 and change it to the person's real name.
2. Assign the same person in a few more meetings.
3. When daglo shows a prompt saying it can now recognize that person's voice automatically, tap Enable.
4. From your next transcript on, that person's name is added automatically, with an AI badge.

For an overview of the feature, see the daglo Speaker ID launch post. Every voice daglo remembers is listed under Speaker management, where you can turn Speaker ID on or off for each person or remove them. Start naming the people in this week's meetings, and from your next set of minutes on, daglo takes care of the names.
