Abstract:
    A system for enabling controlled application of derived who-is-speaking indications related to activity of participants to a live multiparty communications conference or recorded outputs. The system includes a first node hosting a conference bridging switch, software or a combination thereof, having multiple conference input channels; a second node having data access to at least an output signal port of the conference bridging switch, software, or a combination thereof, and a software application distributed wholly to the first or second node, or in parts to the first and second node. The application is used to apply the who is speaking indications to output communications, data files, or data streams, forwarded to one of, a select potion of, or combination of, the conference participants, non-participant third parties, and one or more storage facilities.
