Afrikaans interviews, transcribed properly
Afrikaans (Afrikaans): Standard Afrikaans output; Cape and inland accents both transcribe on the same model. English code-switching — near-universal in South African recordings — is handled cleanly.
Interviews in particular: Speaker labels separate interviewer from interviewee, and word timestamps let you cite the exact moment. Verbatim quotes for articles and papers, or a clean Q&A ready to code in NVivo or ATLAS.ti.
