Klipy matches each transcript speaker to a contact after storing it. If matching fails, or no name was captured, that speaker shows as Unknown.
Klipy stores a meeting’s raw transcript first, then tries to match each speaker to a calendar attendee or existing contact. If that matching step fails, Klipy keeps the transcript unchanged and doesn’t retry, so only the speaker link is lost. A speaker also shows as “Unknown” if no name was ever captured.
Klipy stores the raw transcript from the recording first. In a separate step afterward, it tries to match each speaker in that transcript to a calendar attendee or an existing contact, so the transcript can link a name to the right person’s record. Two different causes produce the same visible result — a missing or “Unknown” speaker label — while the transcript content itself is unaffected either way:
Matching failed. Klipy keeps the transcript exactly as it was downloaded and doesn’t retry the match or flag the gap anywhere — only the speaker-to-contact link is lost, never the words themselves.
No name was captured. If the meeting recorder never captured a name for a given speaker in the first place, that speaker shows as “Unknown” regardless of whether matching would have succeeded.
The transcript content itself is never affected by a failed speaker match, so you can usually identify an unlabeled or “Unknown” speaker from what they say and how others respond to them.

Check the meeting's attendee list
Cross-reference the calendar invite or the meeting’s participant list to work out who an “Unknown” or unlinked speaker most likely is.
There’s no in-product way to fix a failed speaker link or relabel a speaker today. This only affects the name-to-contact link, not the transcript text.

Contact support if getting a specific speaker linked to their contact record matters for that meeting’s follow-up — for example, if you need the CRM record tied to a particular voice in the transcript.
Does a failed speaker match affect the transcript text itself?
No. Klipy stores the raw transcript before attempting to match speakers to contacts, so a failed match only affects the name-to-contact link, never the words that were said.
Can I manually relabel an Unknown speaker?
Not today. There’s no in-product control to rename a speaker or manually link them to a contact after the match attempt fails.
Why would a speaker be Unknown even when everything else in the meeting worked?
If the meeting recorder never captured a name for that speaker, Klipy labels them “Unknown” regardless of whether the contact-matching step would have otherwise succeeded. It’s a separate cause from a failed match.
Does a missing speaker link affect the meeting recap?
The recap and transcript are stored as their own records, so a failed speaker-to-contact link on the transcript does not remove or alter the recap’s content.
