Who's speaking? Fixing speaker names

The transcript first separates voices ("Speaker A", "Speaker B"), then names them from context: roll call, people addressing each other ("Thank you, Councilor Lee"), introductions, and your board's member list.

Correct a name

Under Who's speaking? on the meeting page, each voice is listed with sample lines. Change a name and save; the transcript updates, and you can Redraft so the minutes use the corrected names.

Getting it right more often

  • Enter your members with titles on the board page. Names and titles in the draft come from this list.
  • Take roll call out loud. When the clerk calls each name and the member answers, that voice is identified for the rest of the meeting.
  • Say the mover and seconder. When the chair restates the motion ("We have a motion from Councilor Lee and a second from Councilor Alvarez"), the draft records them correctly even when voices overlap.
  • Use a microphone near the members, not one at the back of the room.

When we aren't sure who made or seconded a motion, the draft says "⚠ check" rather than guessing.
