# Differentiating Multiple Speakers In Wordly

## How to distinguish multiple speakers using the same audio input

When multiple speakers use a single audio input, Wordly indicates the change in the session, so you can tell when a speaker changes. This is called speaker disambiguation.

Example: You have a keynote speaker that's being introduced by the master of ceremonies. Wordly indicates when the keynote speaker begins speaking after the master of ceremonies has finished speaking.

When a speaker changes, that change is marked in the session with a chevron icon (**\>\>**). This icon also marks speaker changes in the transcript.

Wordly doesn't support speaker disambiguation for Afrikaans and Bengali. 

For best results, make sure that the speakers don't speak over each other. If there's not at least a slight pause between speakers, it may take a line or two forWordly to indicate that the speaker has changed.
