Finding suitable videos

WordSmith does not provide or include corpora. However, there are specialised corpora such as NECTE, MICASE, ICE and then there are publicly available sources such as the TED Talks. You are expected to respect copyright provisions in all cases.

You can work with any video which your Windows computer can play. For example, .AVI, .MOV., .MP4 files.

There's a huge range of interesting 10-20 minute talks by good speakers at TED talks which can be downloaded. There is an alternative listing too. This link gives help downloading.
