In addition to describing how Asian multilinguals use
English, an important aim of ACE is to allow researchers to
compare Asian ELF use with European ELF use, as described
in the Vienna Oxford International Corpus of English (VOICE)
(https://www.univie.ac.at/voice/.) ACE is being collected and
transcribed following VOICE protocols and the transcription
software, VoiceScribe, to ensure that researchers will be able to
reliably and easily compare data from both corpora.
