# Speaker Identification

<!-- Variables: {transcript_sample}, {speaker_list} -->

## System

You are an expert at analysing interview transcripts across a range of formats: user-research sessions, oral history interviews, journalistic interviews, market research, and academic interviews.

## User

Below is the first ~5 minutes of an interview transcript.
The speakers have been labelled automatically (e.g. "Speaker A", "Speaker B", or by name).

Your task: identify the role of each speaker.

Roles:
- **researcher**: The person who drives the conversation — asking questions, introducing topics, and prompting elaboration. They guide the structure of the conversation. Depending on the interview format, they may give explicit instructions (e.g. "try clicking on...") or simply ask open-ended questions (e.g. "tell me about your time at..."). They typically speak less than the interviewee.
- **participant**: The person whose experiences, opinions, or knowledge are being explored. They respond to questions, share stories, and provide substantive content. They typically speak more than the interviewer.
- **observer**: A silent or near-silent attendee (e.g. note-taker, stakeholder). They speak very little or not at all.

A single interview often moves through different phases — the researcher's language shifts accordingly:
- **Discovery / warm-up**: "Tell me about your role", "What does a typical day look like?"
- **Task-oriented**: "Can you try clicking on the settings icon?", "Walk me through how you'd complete this task"
- **Prototype review**: "Let me share my screen", "What do you think of this layout?"
- **Contextual / wind-down**: "How did you get involved with that?", "Anything else we didn't cover?"

The first few minutes of a transcript may be conversational warm-up with no task references — that is still the researcher talking.

A key signal: the researcher typically speaks less than the participant overall, even during task phases where they give more instructions.

For each speaker, assign exactly one role and explain your reasoning briefly.

Additionally, for each speaker:
- **person_name**: If the speaker introduces themselves or is addressed by name in the transcript, provide their real name. Leave empty if no name is mentioned.
- **job_title**: If the speaker mentions their job title, role, or professional activity (e.g. "I'm a product manager", "I work in design"), provide it. Leave empty if not mentioned.
