Managing Campaigns

Founding Your Company

A campaign is your top-level container — think of it as one continuous adventure or storyline. Each campaign holds sessions, a character roster, and shared settings.

Creating a Campaign

New Campaign form with name, description, language, speaker count, and first session number fields

Field Description Default
Name Your campaign's title
Description A brief synopsis
Language Primary spoken language English
Number of Speakers Expected party size (1–10) 5

Speaker Count Matters

The speaker count helps TaleKeeper figure out who's who in the recording. Set it close to your actual party size for the best results — it doesn't need to be exact.

The Campaign Dashboard

Campaign dashboard showing session count, total recorded time, Continue Last Session button, and a list of sessions with status badges like COMPLETED, AUDIO, TRANSCRIPT, SUMMARY, and IMAGES

Your dashboard shows:

  • All sessions in chronological order
  • Session count, total recorded time, and most recent session date
  • Quick access to create a new session
  • A Continue Last Session button for instant access to your most recent session

Each session row displays content badges showing what data is available at a glance:

Badge Color Meaning
Status (Draft, Recording, Completed, etc.) Varies Current session state
Audio Blue Audio recording is attached
Transcript Purple Transcript has been generated
Summary Violet One or more summaries exist
Images ×N Orange Scene illustrations generated (with count)

Editing Session Names

Click any session title to rename it inline. Press Enter to save or Esc to cancel. For completed sessions, a Regenerate Name button lets the AI suggest a narrative title based on the transcript (e.g., "The Siege of Blackmoor").

Editing Campaign Settings

Click on the campaign name or settings to modify:

  • Name and description — update anytime
  • Language — changes the default for new sessions
  • Speaker count — adjusts diarization defaults
  • Voice Signature Confidence — controls how strictly TaleKeeper matches voices to known speakers. Lower is more lenient (more likely to make a match), higher is stricter (fewer wrong matches). The default works well for most groups
  • Session start number — for campaigns that didn't start at session 1

Hidden Feature: Session Renumbering

Changing the session start number automatically renumbers all existing sessions and updates any sessions that still have the default "Session N" name. Useful if you're importing a campaign that started as session 15 in a larger arc.

Deleting a Campaign

Deleting a campaign permanently removes all its sessions, recordings, transcripts, summaries, and images. This cannot be undone.
