Chinese (Mandarin) focus groups, transcribed properly
Chinese (Mandarin) (中文（普通话）): Simplified-script output by default, with sentence segmentation despite no spaces in the script. Tone-dependent homophones resolve from context. Mandarin is the model's training target; for Cantonese use our dedicated Cantonese page.
Focus groups in particular: Diarization untangles overlapping voices better than session notes ever will. Coded excerpts, participant quotes and themes you can defend.
