ORTOFON v1 is designed as a representation of authentic spoken Czech used in informal situations (private environment, spontaneity, unpreparedness etc.) in the area of the whole Czech Republic. The corpus is composed of 332 recordings from 2012–2017 and contains 1 014 786 orthographic words (i.e. a total of 1 236 508 tokens including punctuation); a total of 624 different speakers appear in the probes. ORTOFON v1 is fully balanced regarding the basic sociolinguistic speaker categories (gender, age group, level of education and region of childhood residence).
The transcription is linked to the corresponding audio track. Unlike the ORAL-series corpora, the transcription was carried out on two main tiers, orthographic and phonetic, supplemented by an additional metalanguage tier. ORTOFON v1 is lemmatized and morphologically tagged. The (anonymized) corpus is provided in a (semi-XML) vertical format used as an input to the Manatee query engine. The data thus correspond to the corpus available via the KonText query engine to registered users of the CNC at http://www.korpus.cz

Opera singer Otakar Mařák as a patient at Na Bulovce Hospital in Prague as included in his obituary in a segment from Československý zvukový týdeník Aktualita (Czechoslovak Aktualita Sound Newsreel) 1939, issue no. 28. The footage with the artist was shot in spring 1938.
Music critic Otakar Šourek on Bohumil Veselý's balcony. Otakar Šourek at Slavín Cemetery in Vyšehrad in a segment from Československý filmový týdeník (Czechoslovak Film Weekly Newsreel) 1954, issue no. 20.
Sculptor Otakar Švec with his colleagues František Žemlička and Arnošt Košík working on a model for the Stalin Monument in a segment from Československý filmový týdeník (Czechoslovak Film Weekly Newsreel) 1953, issue no. 22.
Director Otakar Vávra with cinematographer Jan Roth during the shooting of Humoreska (Humoresque, dir. Otakara Vávra, 1939) in a segment from Československý zvukový týdeník Aktualita (Czechoslovak Aktualita Sound Newsreel) 1939, issue no. 41B.
The corpus consists of transcribed recordings from the Czech political discussion broadcast “Otázky Václava Moravce“. It contains 35 hours of speech and corresponding word-by-word transcriptions, including the transcription of some non-speech events. Speakers’ names are also assigned to corresponding segments. The resulting corpus is suitable for both acoustic model training for ASR purposes and training of speaker identification and/or verification systems. The archive contains 16 sound files (WAV PCM, 16-bit, 48 kHz, mono) and transcriptions in XML-based standard Transcriber format (http://trans.sourceforge.net)
This package comprises eight models of Czech word embeddings trained by applying word2vec (Mikolov et al. 2013) to the currently most extensive corpus of Czech, namely SYN v9 (Křen et al. 2022). The minimum frequency threshold for including a word in the model was 10 occurrences in the corpus. The original lemmatisation and tagging included in the corpus were used for disambiguation. In the case of word embeddings of word forms, units comprise word forms and their tag from a positional tagset (cf. https://wiki.korpus.cz/doku.php/en:pojmy:tag) separated by '>', e.g., kočka>NNFS1-----A----.
The published package provides models trained on both tokens and lemmas. In addition, the models combine training algorithms (CBOW and Skipgram) and dimensions of the resulting vectors (100 or 500), while the training window and negative sampling remained the same during the training. The package also includes files with frequencies of word forms (vocab-frequencies.forms) and lemmas (vocab-frequencies.lemmas).
The January 2018 release of the ParaCrawl is the first version of the corpus. It contains parallel corpora for 11 languages paired with English, crawled from a large number of web sites. The selection of websites is based on CommonCrawl, but ParaCrawl is extracted from a brand new crawl which has much higher coverage of these selected websites than CommonCrawl. Since the data is fairly raw, it is released with two quality metrics that can be used for corpus filtering. An official "clean" version of each corpus uses one of the metrics.

ParaDi 2.0. is a dictionary of single verb paraphrases of Czech verbal multiword expressions - light verb constructions and idiomatic verb constructions. Moreover, it provides an elaborated set of morphological, syntactic and semantic features, including information on aspectual counterparts of verbs or paraphrasability conditions of given verbs.
The format of ParaDi has been designed with respect to both human and machine readability - the dictionary is represented as a plain table in TSV format, as it is a flexible and language-independent data format.
