# Voice profiles

> Let Vowen recognize people it has heard before and name them in new meetings and transcriptions.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Coming in the next update.

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](/meeting-notes/diarization).

## 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.

## Teach Vowen a voice

**1. Record or transcribe with speakers on**

Use **Identify Speakers** in a meeting note or on the Transcribe page.

**2. Name the speakers**

On the inspector's **Speakers** tab, type each person's name and click **Save Changes**.

**3. 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 "{name}?" chip. Click the check ("Yes, this is {name}") to accept or the X ("Not {name}") 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.

## 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:

| Strength | Meaning |
| - | - |
| **Still learning** | Needs more speech before naming automatically. Only suggests. |
| **Names automatically** | Recognized with enough confidence to fill in the name. |
| **Well established** | Learned from plenty of speech. |

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 {name}** 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](/meeting-notes/people). 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](/features/cloud-sync), they sync to your other devices through your own cloud storage folder, in a **Voice Profiles** folder.
