Identify Speakers

To identify speakers

  1. Create a new configuration to send to Media Server with the process action, or open an existing configuration that you want to modify.

  2. In the [Session] section, add a new analysis task by setting the EngineN parameter. You can give the task any name, for example:

    [Session]
    Engine0=Ingest
    Engine1=RecognizeSpeakers
  3. Create a new section to contain the settings for the task, and set the following parameters:

    Type The analysis engine to use. Set this parameter to SpeakerID.
    Input (Optional) The audio track to process. If you do not specify an input track, Media Server processes the first track of the correct type produced by the ingest engine.
    Database The name of the database to use to recognize speakers. If you do not set this parameter Media Server cannot identify speakers, but can divide the audio into different speakers and detect the gender of each speaker.
    MatchThreshold (Optional) The minimum threshold that must be met to recognize a speaker, rather than output an "unknown" speaker.

    For example:

    [RecognizeSpeakers]
    Type=SpeakerID
    Database=news
    MatchThreshold=65
  4. Save and close the configuration file. OpenText recommends that you save your configuration files in the location specified by the ConfigDirectory parameter.
