    Was wondering if anybody on this forum could advise me concerning
    these questions:

    1. What are the most extensive corpora available of transcribed oral
    speech in Spanish?

    One I saw had some speeches by Fidel Castro. That's fine, but I'm
    looking for informal conversation. Could be from movie and TV
    dialogs, or more authentic sources.

    2. How can I get permission to browse the raw text in such corpora,
    assuming they exist?

    I'm not so interested in searching for particular words and phrases.
    Rather, I'd like to read reams and reams of authentic transcribed
    conversational speech.

    Thank you.
