How do I get a meeting transcript with speaker names?
Short answer
Record the meeting with Acta and open the Transcript tab. Every line is labelled with who said it: the notetaker takes names from the participant list, and the desktop app marks your voice as you and names the others from the conversation and your calendar invite. The summary and action items sit beside it.
