VOICE CLARIAH - We want your feedback!
We have launched VOICE 3.0 Online BETA, a pre-release test version of the new VOICE web interface developed by the VOICE CLARIAH team.
We invite you to explore the new interface (e.g. try out new search, filter and style functions) and to give us feedback in order to support the final development of VOICE 3.0 Online, which we plan to release as an open-access corpus tool in summer 2021.
If you would like to participate and test VOICE 3.0 Online BETA, please contact us via https://voice-clariah.acdh.oeaw.ac.at/. Make sure you also sign up for the VOICE CLARIAH newsletter.
The aim of VOICE CLARIAH is to ensure the long-term availability of the Vienna-Oxford International Corpus of English (VOICE) by integrating VOICE into CLARIAH-AT infrastructure and to develop a new front-end interface for VOICE Online.
