Segments

Learn how to view and edit transcript segments and speaker names

Voxxy will break up your transcript into segments. Each segment represents a portion of speech, typically containing one or more sentences from a single speaker.

What are segments?

Segments are created automatically when Voxxy processes your recording:

  • Natural grouping - Segments contain sentences or collections of sentences grouped naturally
  • Speaker attribution - Each segment is attributed to a single speaker
  • Sequential order - Segments appear in the order they were spoken in your audio file

Speaker identification

Voxxy automatically identifies speakers in your recording:

  • Voice analysis - Speakers are identified by accent, dialect, tone, and other characteristics
  • Name identification - Voxxy analyses the transcript to identify a name for each speaker

Update speaker name

To update a speaker's name:

  1. Find a segment attributed to the speaker you wish to update
  2. Click the edit button next to the speaker's name
  3. Enter the new name
  4. Click the "Next" button
  5. Next, you'll be asked how you want to apply the update:
    • Update selected segment only - Changes the speaker's name for this segment only
    • Update all matching segments - Changes the speaker's name for all segments that Voxxy has matched to this speaker
  6. Click the "Save" button
Example of editing a speaker's name
When you choose 'Update all matching segments', Voxxy will update the speaker's name for all segments it believes are spoken by the same speaker. This enables you to quickly update the speaker's name for all of their segments.

Edit segment text

To edit the segment text associated with a segment:

  1. Click the edit button at the end of the segment
  2. Make your changes to the text
  3. Click the "Save" button

Whilst unlikely if your audio file quality is good, Voxxy can sometimes make mistakes when transcribing your audio files. It is recommended that you review your transcript against your audio file for errors.

Play segment

Each segment has a play button. If you click this, the audio player will skip to the start of the segment. This makes it easy to navigate your audio file using your transcript segments.
