After You Stop
After you select Stop Listening, the transcript is saved. People you have not named may appear with generic labels such as "Speaker 1".
When Retain audio recordings is enabled in Settings > Output > Audio Retention, Identify Speakers can open automatically or be opened from the menu bar or Library. See Speaker Recognition for the naming workflow.
Accessing Sessions
Use Show Library... from the menu bar dropdown to access all sessions, transcripts, and speaker tools.
Session Duration
There's no fixed maximum session length. For a long call, use New Session when the topic or context changes. Separate sessions are easier to find and review.
