Speaker labels

When one player controls multiple characters

2 min readUpdated 14 July 2026

Speaker detection follows the human voice, so one player will usually appear as one speaker even when they control several characters. Saga20 cannot reliably split the same voice into separate roles from sound alone.

During speaker review, label the voice as the person who is speaking. Then make sure each of their characters has a clear world entry with the correct name and aliases.

For a cleaner summary:

  • Ask the player to name the character when switching roles if the scene is unclear.
  • Add each character to the world builder before processing.
  • Include nicknames and alternate spellings as aliases.
  • Use Quick Edit when a line or action is assigned to the wrong character.

The people count for a session should still count that player once. It represents the people in the recording, including yourself, rather than the number of characters in play.

See Fix world entry links and duplicates for help with character aliases.
