This paper announces the early release of SpokesBiz, a freely available corpus of conversational Polish developed within the CLARIN-BIZ project and comprising over 650 hours of recordings. The transcribed recordings have been diarized and manually annotated for punctuation and casing. We outline the general structure and content of the corpus, showcasing selected applications in linguistic research, evaluation and improvement of automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems
