Cantonese conference talks and keynotes, transcribed properly
Cantonese (廣東話): Cantonese is supported as its own language (yue) — distinct from Mandarin — with traditional-script output. Colloquial Cantonese particles (啦, 喎, 咩) appear in the output. Accuracy trails Mandarin; broadcast speech does noticeably better than street conversation, so plan a review pass for anything critical.
Conference talks in particular: Technical vocabulary lands well; product names deserve one scan. Blog-ready recaps, caption files for the video, and quotes for social.
