  max.matches = NULL,
  no.progress = FALSE
)

Arguments

labbcat.url

Examples

if (FALSE) {
## get all utterances of the given participants
participant.ids <- getParticipantIds(labbcat.url)[1:3]
results <- getAllUtterances(labbcat.url, participant.ids)

## results$MatchId can be used to access results
