ORTHOGRAPHIC TRANSCRIPTION OF UNSCRIPTED SPEECH:

I grew up on the Big Island of Hawaii. I’m a very funny person. People really like my photographs. I like to not drive around the city, and my favorite color is turquoise.

Hawaii is pretty amazing. Um, I like, uh, the fishes; I like the animals; the beaches are just so beautiful, and it honestly is paradise, especially with volcanoes. I like to swim and surf; um, I like to, uh, hula around town, and also the community there is amazing. Diverse in Hawaii is, is not a problem because everyone is from everywhere and our history is so rich with immigrants and cultures, and, uh, pidgin is the Hawaiian language that’s used in Hawaii, and I recommend everyone and anyone to go there.

The archive provides:

• Recordings of accent/dialect speakers from the region you select.

• Text of the speakers’ biographical details.

• Scholarly commentary and analysis in some cases.

• In most cases, an orthographic transcription of the speakers’ unscripted speech.  In a small number of cases, you will also find a narrow phonetic transcription of the sample (see Phonetic Transcriptions for a complete list).  The recordings average four minutes in length and feature both the reading of one of two standard passages, and some unscripted speech. The two passages are Comma Gets a Cure (currently our standard passage) and The Rainbow Passage (used in our earliest recordings).
