Morphology

talker + identification

The meaning is directly compositional: 'talker' (a person who speaks) combined with 'identification' (the act of recognizing identity) yields the process of recognizing who is speaking. Although the term is somewhat technical (speaker/voice recognition), the relation is transparent and a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the sense.

Etymology

Talker identification comes from the simple idea of knowing the talker, the person who speaks, and making an identification, finding out 'who is speaking', by the sound of their 'voice'.
