What is SpeakerID?

SpeakerID is a powerful new feature designed to enhance your live captioning experience by distinguishing between speakers during a conversation or meeting. This feature automatically assigns different colors to each speaker, making it easier to follow along. Additionally, you can label each speaker with their name, providing a more personalized and organized experience.

For the first time, you will be able to automatically identify all the speakers in the conversation and display what they say in a different color! No need to invite them with another device to do a group conversation anymore.

Speaker Limit: SpeakerID supports up to 5 speakers at a time and performs best with clear audio input. If you have more than 5 speakers, consider using Ava Connect or Group Conversations for more advanced speaker identification.

SpeakerID is a Premium-only feature.
