The [export captions endpoint](/docs/api-reference/transcripts/get-subtitles) does not include speaker label information by default, but you can generate captions with speaker labels using the information from the JSON response for the completed transcript.

When you enable [Speaker Diarization](/docs/speech-to-text/pre-recorded-audio/speaker-diarization) in your transcription request, the response includes speaker information for each word and utterance. You can use this data along with the word-level timestamps to build custom SRT or VTT files that include speaker identification.

See the [Create Subtitles with Speaker Labels](/docs/guides/speaker_labelled_subtitles) cookbook for a step-by-step guide on how to accomplish this.
