Summary:

The corpus contains a total of over 36 hours of recordings of 46 French speakers engaged in conversations with friends. Casual speech was elicited during three different parts, which together provided around ninety minutes of speech from every pair of speakers. It contains audio as well as video data, which can be used to study facial and body gestures during verbal communication. All of the recorded speech has been orthographically transcribed.
