A speaker label does not tell you who it was

Confirm attribution before adding a name
When a phrase appears beside a speaker label, do not turn that label into a person’s name by intuition. Aurora’s experimental speaker distinction is anonymous and limited to the session; it stores no voice identity. That is different from recognizing each participant.
This matters when a phrase assigns responsibility: “I will prepare the document.” Understanding the words and knowing who said them are separate checks. Confirm attribution in the conversation before recording somebody’s commitment.
One phrase, two separate uncertainties
Fictional example: Alba and Bruno are talking while you follow the text. You read “I will prepare the document for review.” Two questions remain:
- Were the words captured correctly? If unsure, ask for repetition or rephrasing. Readable text does not prove accurate transcription.
- Who is preparing it? Ask “Can we confirm who will prepare the document?” If Alba replies “I will,” you have an explicit confirmation for your note.
Until that reply, write “Preparing the document has been proposed; owner to be confirmed.” This is suggested wording for your own notes, not a state Aurora fills automatically. Do not infer responsibility from the order people appear in another application.
What Aurora currently describes
The official information describes experimental anonymous speaker distinction, scoped to the session, CPU-only and storing no voice identity. That distinction uses no VRAM. It does not promise to separate every voice correctly or preserve identity across meetings.
Aurora is a Windows 11 x64 application providing captions and translation from the selected audio source. Quality depends on audio, model, language and hardware. This guide’s cover is illustrative, not a screenshot or demonstration of actual speaker attribution.
Text assistance does not confirm a person either
The optional Codex assistant can help formulate a clarification using recent context. A suggested reply is still not evidence of who spoke. Review it before use and confirm attribution with the people involved.
That optional feature uses the network, requires a Codex account and access, and can send session text and guidance to Codex/OpenAI. It is separate from the local caption core; buying Aurora does not include or guarantee unlimited assistant access.
Consult Aurora’s website for requirements and current scope. Prepare one confirmation question for your next conversation. A label may help you follow the exchange; a name and a commitment need their own check.
