Diarization-Powered Talk-Time Monitoring

Tonvo's speaker diarization engine segments the audio stream into speaker turns using a neural embedding model that maps voice characteristics into a vector space. Speakers are clustered automatically, and each turn's duration is accumulated into a live talk-time counter. The ratio is displayed as a simple visual bar that updates every few seconds. When the ratio crosses a user-defined threshold, a gentle nudge appears in the coaching panel.

Key Benefits

Create Space for Every Voice

Visual talk-time data helps facilitators notice when someone has been quiet and proactively invite them to contribute, leading to more inclusive meetings.

Data-Driven Conversation Coaching

Managers use talk-time metrics to coach reps on active listening. Teams that track speaker balance consistently improve discovery-call conversion rates.

Real-Time Self-Awareness

A simple glance at the talk-time bar reminds you to pause, ask a question, and let the other person elaborate — a habit that compounds into better outcomes.

Who Uses This Feature

  • Sales teams maintaining optimal talk/listen ratios during discovery
  • Meeting facilitators ensuring all participants contribute in brainstorms
  • Interview panels balancing speaking time across interviewers
  • Managers identifying reps who over-talk during customer calls

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Tonvo distinguish between speakers?
Tonvo uses speaker diarization — an AI technique that identifies distinct speakers based on vocal characteristics. Each speaker is assigned a label, and their talk-time is tracked independently throughout the call.
What is the ideal talk-time ratio for sales calls?
Research suggests a 40/60 ratio (rep/prospect) is optimal for discovery calls. Tonvo displays the live ratio and gently alerts you when your talk-time exceeds a configurable threshold, helping you stay in the listening zone.
Does speaker tracking work in group calls?
Yes. Tonvo tracks up to 10 simultaneous speakers in a group call, displaying individual talk-time percentages and identifying participants who have not spoken, so you can invite quieter voices into the conversation.
Can I review historical talk-time patterns?
Your post-session analysis includes a talk-time breakdown for every call. Over time, Tonvo aggregates this data into trends so you can see if your listening ratio is improving across weeks or months.
