Show who is speaking instead - have each character speak in a distinct way and use specific types of speech patterns (do they use long words and complete sentences or short words and fragments? are they educated or ignorant? do they use slang?)
You can also show who is speaking by using dialogue modifiers - sentences that show a character acting. Instead of writing "He muttered," write whatever the character said, then write "He turned his back and walked away." It is then clear that "he" is the one speaking without writing "he said" or any other term.
If you do need to state exactly who spoke, just write "he said" or "she said" - it's the shortest way to write it, and seeing those words will not jar the reader out of the story like trying to figure out what a longer word means.
