Copies of some lessons on these channels are available as part of this dataset in mp4 and wav formats. A select number of lessons have matching ELAN files with human and human/machine generated orthographic transcriptions of the audio, as well 'tiers' with machine inference only. Detailed information about the audio quality, remarks on background noise, code-switching behaviour and lesson content is available in the paper above.

Almost all videos contain a mix of languages, with some dominated by Indonesian or English. Some videos explicitly focused on variation in Indonesian or words from other languages which are commonly mixed into Indonesian by speakers.
