Cebuano / Bisaya panels and roundtables, 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.
Panel discussions in particular: Cross-talk is the hard case — clear turn-taking transcribes near-perfectly. Quotable highlights, session recaps and an archive attendees can search.
