Speaker Names in Your Transcripts (v3.9)

Hedy 3.8 made speaker labels accurate. Now they get names.

Hedy names them for you

When someone says who they are, or is addressed by name, the recap picks it up and applies it to the transcript.
Only actual dialogue counts as evidence, so ambiguous speakers stay numbered rather than guessed at.

Or you name them yourself

Each transcript shows a roster of speaker chips above it. Tap one to rename it.
A name you set is never overwritten by Hedy's own inference.

The name follows the session

Copies, shares, downloads and exports all use it.
It syncs to your other devices, and to sessions you have shared.
Transcript cleanup uses your confirmed names, so a tidied transcript reads with real people in it.

Names come from Nemotron's speaker analysis, so they appear on sessions captured with the

Nemotron

speech engine: Apple Silicon Macs, iPhone 12 and newer, iPad Air 4 and newer, Windows, and 64-bit Android phones. Sessions captured with Whisper or a cloud provider do not carry speaker turns and show no roster. Renaming is available on your own finished transcripts.
