See how the talking is shared in a conversation

Tonvo shows who is speaking as the conversation goes, so you can notice when you talk too much or when someone has not had a say.

Get started

Who is speaking, live

While the conversation is transcribed, Tonvo also marks who is speaking. From that, the live view shows how the talking is shared between people. You can glance at it to notice when you have been speaking for a long time, or when someone has stayed quiet. It is information, not a rule, and it is up to you what to do with it.

Key benefits

Leave room for others

Seeing who has spoken helps you notice a quiet person and invite them in, whether you lead a meeting or a family call.

See your own habits

A glance at who has been talking helps you notice whether you tend to take most of the space in a conversation.

A reminder to listen

Seeing the balance shift can remind you to pause, ask a question and let the other person finish.

Who uses this feature

  • Following a discovery call to make sure the other person gets to talk
  • Leading a meeting where everyone should contribute
  • Checking that an interview leaves enough space for the candidate
  • Noticing when you talk too much in a difficult conversation

Frequently asked questions

How does Tonvo tell who is speaking?
Tonvo separates the voices it hears and shows who is speaking in the live view. It works best when voices come through clearly, so use a good microphone or share the tab of an online call so both sides are heard. It can be wrong, especially when people talk over each other.
Which plans include talk balance?
Talk balance is part of Ultra and Elite. Pro sessions show the detected question, up to three replies and a session summary.
Does it work in group conversations?
Tonvo can show who is speaking in a group, but accuracy depends on the audio. When several voices come through one microphone, the labels can be less reliable.
Does Tonvo tell me the ideal balance?
No. Tonvo shows the balance and leaves the judgment to you. The right balance depends on the conversation: an interview where you listen is different from a presentation you give.
