Abstract
Participants may use one or more devices for engaging in a meeting, such as phones, conferencing devices, and/or computers. The devices include microphones that capture speech for determining the presence of distinct participants. Speech signals originating from different participants, or microphones, may be determined and associated with the participants. For example, microphones may be directional and more sensitive to sound coming from one or more specific directions than sound coming from other directions. By associating an individual with a microphone, or set of microphones, overlapping voices may be disambiguated to provide clear voice streams that aid in producing a clear transcript indicating the speech of the participants, respectively. An identity of the participants may be determined using voiceprint and/or voice recognition techniques.
