Afrikaans voice memos, 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.
Voice memos in particular: Even rambling self-notes come back as clean, punctuated text. To-do lists, journal entries and ideas you can actually search later.
