Voice Profiles FAQ
Do voice profiles work across boards?
Yes. When board member speaks in meetings on different boards, MuniMins recognizes them as the same person. Their voice profile is shared across all boards they're associated with.
How long do voice profiles last?
Voice profiles are stored indefinitely (or until you remove the member). They improve with each meeting. Even after 6 months with no meetings, a profile will still recognize a returning member.
What if a speaker's voice changes?
It is rare that a speakers voice changes so much that the voice identification system does not recognize them. It is more likely that they will have a lower score voice match. Confirming speakers through multiple meetings will improve the voice profile.
Can I manually edit a voice profile?
No. Confirming speakers in the transcript is all that's needed to keep profiles accurate.
Are voice profiles secure?
A voice fingerprint is no more or less secure than the video/audio recording itself. Importantly, these voice fingerprints are mathematical embeddings and they cannot be used to create new audio.
Can public commenters have voice profiles?
Only individuals that have been entered as a member, participant or guest can have a voice profile. One time speakers like residents giving public comment will not. Remember, voice profiles are important for future meeting processing.
