While we’ve had a Python package to access the Alveo API for some time (pyalveo) there has not been a properly tested solution for R users until now. We’re happy to announce the release of the alveo library for R which allows R users to write code to access metadata and data from the Alveo […]

Alveo and Voyant Tools
I’d like to preview a new feature under development in Alveo which is an integration with the excellent Voyant Tools for text analysis. Voyant includes a wide range of tools to explore text collections from word-clouds to concordances and network graphs. This extension to Alveo allows the owner of a collection to enable Voyant analysis. […]
Alveo Transcription Tool
We’re pleased to announce the latest tool in the Alveo stable for transcription of audio recordings. The Alveo Transcription Tool is a browser based system that works with audio stored on the Alveo platform to facilitate time-aligned transcription. The eventual goal is to support the entire workflow from uploading of recordings to transcription and then […]
Allocating a DOI for a Collection
Recent work on Alveo now allows us to allocate a DOI for any collection held on the system. A DOI (Digital Object Identifier) is intended to be a persistent digital identifier for an electronic resource; one that can be cited in your publications. To be able to allocate a DOI we needed to have public pages […]
Alveo data used in the Macquarie Dictionary podcast on pronunciation
Listen to this Macquarie Dictionary podcast with interesting remarks on the Australian English accents and pronunciation from Felicity Cox, and some audio snippets from data which is available through Alveo. https://www.macquariedictionary.com.au/podcast/article/474/ […]
AusTalk Updates
Astute users may have noticed a change to the AusTalk collection in Alveo in the last couple of days. We are re-ingesting AusTalk into Alveo to correct some errors with the previous version of the data. This means that we removed the old version and then re-loaded all of the data into Alveo. As I […]
Alveo Services Restored
I’m pleased to report that the Alveo server is now fully restored and all services should be working again as normal. AAF login is working again and password reset emails are now being delivered. There is some work still in progress. In particular the Galaxy server will be updated soon with some more tools for […]
Server Status Update
An update on the new server deployment. The Alveo repository is now re-installed on new infrastructure at NCI Canberra. All collections are re-ingested and should be available as before but there are a couple of unresolved issues that we are still working on. AAF logins are not yet working so you will need to […]
Alveo Server Outage
As of this morning (1st November) the Alveo server is offline. We are currently moving the server from its previous home at Intersect in Sydney to the facilities of NCI in Canberra. We had hoped to have a seamless transition between the two services but unfortunately the new server is not quite ready. We […]
Uploading Data to Alveo
When we set out to build Alveo the aim was always that it should be a repository for new collections contributed by researchers; however, the initial impetus was to get a number of older collections ingested and build the platform capabilities. New collections were added to Alveo via a back-end process that only the developers […]
