With the Pro plan, ask for the Actor positions format in an EU meeting’s Summary tab: it answers the question “who said what?”.

Solid in the Parliament, deliberately cautious in the Council.

In detail

How attribution works

The transcription first separates the voices, without naming them. A second pass matches each voice to a name, drawing on the list of MEPs, on the agenda and on introductory formulas. The name retained must match a name on that list exactly; it then links to the elected representative’s profile from the transcript block.

By institution

Institution What you get
European Parliament Attribution by name, based on the list of MEPs
Council of the EU Attribution by member state, never by name: in a Council session, the position that counts is the delegation’s
European Commission Attribution follows the agenda and the introductory formulas; the timecode takes you back to the picture to confirm a name

The rule that governs the result

The system prefers to attribute nothing rather than get it wrong. If two people could match, the field stays empty. That is the right trade-off: in a position paper, a sure attribution is worth more than an approximate one.
