Speaker’s ID generation¶
The last name of the speaker is automatically made the ID; if a
speaker’ name is “John Hacker”, the ID for this speaker will be
hacker
.
If two or more speakers have the same last name, then, the first speaker will have their last name as their ID and from the second to the n^th speaker will have their full name as their ID; if “Bill Hacker” and “Jill Hacker” are two speakers, “Bill” will get
hacker
as his ID and “Jill” will getjill_hacker
as her ID.The IDs are transliterated to ASCII; if a speaker’ name is “John HÖcker”, the ID for this speaker will be
hacker
.
