In this paper, we consider the extraction of speaker identity from audio records of broadcast news without a priori acoustic information about speakers. Using an automatic speech recognition system and an automatic speaker diarization system, we present improvements for a method which allows to extract speaker identities from automatic transcripts and to assign them to speech segments.Experiments are carried out on French broadcast news records from the ESTER 1 evaluation campaign. Experimental results using outputs of automatic speech recognition and automatic diarization are presented.
