TrsToTex

Converts Transcriber .trs files to LaTeX documents

The resulting .tex files each include a definition for a new ' urn' command which is used throughout the trancript to format speaker turns; this can be customized directly in the .tex files after conversion, or with the –texTurnCommand command line switch. e.g. “–texTurnCommand=\item[#1:] #2” (#1 = Speaker ID, #2 = Turn Text)
