Voice profiles name speakers for you. When you name a speaker, Vowen learns their voice. In later meetings and transcriptions it recognizes that voice and fills in the name, or suggests it when it is less sure. Voice profiles are a Pro feature, in beta, on macOS and Windows. They work with any transcription model that identifies speakers. See Speaker identification. Notes settings, Voice profiles tab, with the Recognize speakers by voice toggle and the People list

​
Turn it on

Open Notes › Notes settings › Voice profiles and turn on Recognize speakers by voice. It is on by default for Pro users. Only notes and transcriptions made after the feature is on take part. Older items are left as they are.

Vowen learns the voice

A speaker needs at least 6 seconds of speech in that recording to be learned.
A profile names people automatically once it has learned about 10 seconds of their speech. Before that it only suggests.

​
In a new meeting

After the transcript is ready, the Speakers tab shows Recognizing voices… while Vowen compares each speaker with your profiles.
  • Named automatically: when the match is strong, the name is filled in. A voice icon next to it reads “Recognized by voice. Rename if it’s someone else.”
  • Suggested: when the match is weaker, the speaker shows a ”?” chip. Click the check (“Yes, this is ”) to accept or the X (“Not ”) to reject. A rejected name is not suggested for that speaker again.
  • Not matched: the speaker keeps its Speaker label.
A speaker needs at least 8 seconds of speech to be named automatically, and 4 seconds to get a suggestion. Names you typed yourself are never replaced. Summaries use the recognized names. Vowen waits up to 45 seconds for recognition before it writes the summary. A slower pass still finishes and updates the note. The Speakers tab with named speakers

Manage people

The People list under the toggle shows everyone Vowen has a profile for, with how many meetings they appear in and when they were last heard. Three bars show how well Vowen knows each voice: Click a name to see the meetings its voice was learned from. Each shows whether it was recognized automatically or named by you, and on another device when the item is not on this computer. Click Not on an automatic match, or Remove on one you named, to take that sample out of the profile. The … menu on each person has:
  • Rename: changes the profile’s name.
  • Merge into…: combines two profiles of the same person. Their voice samples are combined, and speakers still named after the first profile in recent meetings take the second name.
  • View meetings: same as clicking the name.
  • Delete profile: Vowen stops recognizing that person. Names already in your notes stay.
Delete all voice profiles at the bottom removes every profile, on all your synced devices. To rename a person in every note at once, use the People filter. It also renames their voice profile.

​
Privacy and sync

Voice profiles are stored on your computer. They are not sent to Vowen or to any AI provider. If you use Cloud Sync, they sync to your other devices through your own cloud storage folder, in a Voice Profiles folder.
