    Dear Anna,

    The Linguistic Data Consortium (LDC) offers several
    different Spanish conversational corpora. We have
    published approximately 300 telephone calls in
    Spanish, known as the CallHome, CallFriend, and Hub-5
    Spanish Corpora. Each of these collections consists
    of telephone calls lasting between 5 and 30 minutes
    and includes documentation describing speaker
    information. Transcripts of the conversations are
    available for the CallHome and Hub-5 collections.

    We have also published 30 hours of Spanish broadcast
    news collected from Televisa, Univision, and Voice Of
    America (VOA). Transcripts are also available for
    this collection.

    For further information about these corpora, please
    visit our Catalog at
    http://morph.ldc.upenn.edu/Catalog/by_type.html.

    Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have
    any questions.

    Best regards,
