Arabic focus groups, transcribed properly
Arabic (العربية): Modern Standard Arabic is strong; output is right-to-left Arabic script. Dialects (Egyptian, Gulf, Levantine, Maghrebi) are transcribed toward MSA — review dialect-heavy conversation. SRT/VTT exports carry RTL text correctly.
Focus groups in particular: Diarization untangles overlapping voices better than session notes ever will. Coded excerpts, participant quotes and themes you can defend.
