English oral-history recordings, transcribed properly
English (English): American, British, Indian, Australian, Irish, Scottish, Nigerian and Singaporean English are transcribed by the same model — there is no accent setting to pick, and no need to tell it which one you have. Numbers, dates and currency are written as digits rather than spelled out, and filler words are kept rather than tidied away, so the transcript matches what was actually said. Heavy crosstalk is the usual limit: two people talking over each other is the one case worth reviewing.
Oral historys in particular: Word timestamps anchor every memory to its place in the recording. Preserved testimony, searchable archives and quotable history.
