[Corpora-List] English tagger trained on spoken English data

[Muhammad Shakir Aziz]

Dear Members
Every now and then I need to get some English texts tagged for parts of
speech. I am aware that there are very accurate taggers available, for
example CLAWS tagger, Stanford tagger, Tree tagger etc. I think that
Stanford tagger was trained on Wallstreet Journal texts, i.e. written
texts. I am not sure if the other two include models generated on spoken
English data. The purpose of this email was to request for your insights in
this regard. Spoken language is supposedly different in some ways from
written language. Is it ok to use a tagger like Stanford tagger on, for
example, conversational texts? Are there any freely available taggers
specifically designed for spoken or spoken-like texts  (= social media
texts, but not limited to tweets)?
Thanks for your helpful comments in this regard.
