Manually Assigning Speaker Roles

Assigning the correct role to each speaker (such as Therapist or Participant) helps mpathic provide more accurate feedback and behavior analysis. Behaviors and insights are attributed based on the assigned speaker role.

Only Supervisors with transcript access can assign speaker roles.

If speaker roles are not automatically assigned through your workspace configuration, you may choose to assign them manually. If you are unsure which role to assign, review the transcript and use the generic speaker labels to help identify each speaker correctly.

1. Open Session Files

   • In the left menu, select Session Files.

2. Select a Session

   • Click View on the session you want to update.

3. Identify Each Speaker

   • Before assigning, you may want to check the Transcript View.
     Look at what each generic speaker label (Speaker 1, Speaker 2, etc.) says to help match roles correctly.

5. Save Roles

   1. Click Save to confirm changes.

7. Confirm Your Changes

• Open the session again once it is ready.

• Check that each new role (Therapist, Participant, Other) appears in place of the speaker numbers.
