This is a package of transcriptions of files from the SWITCHBOARD database of informal telephone conversations. Between March and September of 1996 we conducted a project to make manual phonetic transcriptions of a portion of this database; these files are the result of that project.
(For a description of the project, see "Insights into spoken language gleaned from phonetic transcription of the switchboard corpus", S. Greenberg, D. Ellis, J. Hollenback, Proc. Int. Conf. on Spoken Lang. Proc., Philadelphia, 1996oct03-05.)
