# IMPORTANT: In the example corpus all transcripts are assigned media links.
# The actual media files are, however, not included in when installing the package 
# due to size limitations of CRAN.
# But you may download the media files separately.
# Please see the section 'examplecorpus' for instructions. 
# --> You will need the media files to execute the following example code.
