Cebuano / Bisaya focus groups, transcribed properly
Cebuano / Bisaya (Binisaya): Supported, with the honest caveat that it is one of Whisper's thinner training languages. Expect a real review pass. Tagalog and English switches within the same recording are common and handled.
Focus groups in particular: Diarization untangles overlapping voices better than session notes ever will. Coded excerpts, participant quotes and themes you can defend.
