Annotating a conference video stream with participant names using speech recognition

Abstract

A conference video stream is annotated with participant names determined using speech recognition. A computing device used with a video conference obtains voiceprints representing speech of individual conference participants invited to the video conference. The computing device obtains, as output of a speech recognition process performed based on the voiceprints, name information of a conference participant whose speech is represented within an audio segment captured during the video conference. The computing device outputs an annotation representing the name information to configure one or more participant devices connected to the video conference to display the name information proximate to a depiction of the conference participant within a video stream depicting the conference participant. The voiceprints representing the speech of the individual conference participants are uploaded to a data store prior to the video conference as part of an enrollment and authorization process performed by the individual conference participants.
