A new release of the IViE corpus of English of the British Isles
is now available.  Other than an upgraded web site, it contains
some corrections and some new labels.  The corpus contains
36 hours of recordings from 16 year-olds, from seven different
English dialects.   It contains recordings of
* short sentences,
* a longish story (Cinderella),
* a retelling of the story,
* a map task, and
* free conversation.

The corpus is partially labeled in a variety of ways:
* accents and intonation marked,
* diplophonia and other f0 tracking errors,
* start and end of speaker turns and speaker identity for dialogues,
* word transcription.

The corpus can be downloaded from http://www.phon.ox.ac.uk/IViE/ ;
the web site allows utterance-by-utterance access or a download
of the entire data set.
