Introduction
JANA: A Human-Human Dialogues Corpus for Egyptian Dialect was developed by researchers at Cairo University. It consists of 82 transcribed dialogues from call center inquiries annotated for dialogue acts.

The transcribed dialogues consist of 52 telephone calls and 30 instant messaging conversations, amounting to approximately 20,311 words. The data contains roughly 3,001 conversation turns, with an average of 6.7 words per turn, and 4,725 utterances, with an average of 4.3 words per utterance. The data was transcribed using Transcriber.
