So, for now, let’s I say a couple of words about something; for example, ah, for now, I’m working on my job in an interesting, in an interesting task, and to solve it, to solve the issue, I make a lot of research and write some questions at the forums. Ah, but, um, oof, sometimes I get, got an answer, sometimes no. And, uh last few days ago it was interesting case, that one, ah, person from India write me and ask me about my solutions and my thoughts about the issue. So, it helped with us to find the solution easier, together.

[Subject speaks Russian]: Итак. Привет. Расскажу пару слов о-о … своём любимом занятии. Я люблю шить игрушки и недавно я наконец-то закончила шить лису. Я начала её несколько лет назад, когда ещё жила в Москве (сейчас я живу в Израиле) и-и… очень долго она была в незаконченном виде… голова была н… хвост б… (голова была на месте) хвост был не пришит, на голове не было глаз. И, наконец-то я всё доделала, пришила ей нос из кожи, сделала усики, а для того, чтобы лиса не голодала, сшила ей маленькую курочку. Конец. Спасибо.

English translation: So, hey. I’m gonna tell you a few words about my favorite hobby. I love sewing up toys and have recently finished a fox. I started it off some years ago, when I still lived in Moscow (as of now I’m living in Israel), and it was not finished for a while; there was a head and a tail (the head was on the place) but the tail wasn’t sewn up; there were no eyes on the face. And finally I’ve done it all up, sewed up a leather nose, made some whiskers; and not to make the fox stay hungry, I sewed up a small chicken for it. And there it is. Thanks.]

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).
