New LDC Website Coming Soon
Look for LDC's new website in the coming weeks. We've revamped the design and site plan to make it easier than ever to find what you're looking for. The features you use the most -- the catalog, new corpus releases and user login -- will be a short click away. We expect the LDC website to be occasionally unavailable for a few days at the end of September as we make the switch and thank you in advance for your understanding.

LDC Spoken Language Sampler - 2nd Release
The LDC Spoken Language Sampler – 2nd Release is now available.  It contains speech and transcript samples from recent releases and is available at no cost.  Follow the link above to the catalog page, download and browse.
