This file contains details about the speaker which can be accessed via the speaker codes. To maximise the speaker number, arbitrary code allocation AA-ZZ (=680) should be used rather than the speaker initials used in the examples. In many countries, the SNM and SBN lines will be left blank for data protection purposes.
