The record contains the following information:

- The `id` element provides a unique identifier for the section of audio.

- The `identity` element describes the speaker who was recognized. It contains the following information:

  - `identifier` - the identifier of the speaker who was recognized.
  - `database` - the name of the database that contains the speaker.
  - `confidence` - the confidence score (from 0 to 100).
  - `metadata` - any custom metadata associated with the speaker. (You can add custom metadata to speakers in your training database).

  This element can be empty when a speaker is not recognized.

- The `speakerName` element provides the name of the speaker. If the speaker is unknown, this element contains the name `Unknown_`. If the section of audio does not contain speech this element contains `NonSpeech_`.
- The `gender` element provides the gender of the speaker (`FEMALE`, `MALE`, or `NonSpeech_`).
- The `confidence` element provides the confidence score for speaker identification. This element is deprecated. Micro Focus recommends using the `identity/confidence` element instead.
