French court hearings and tribunal recordings, transcribed properly
French (français): European, Canadian (Québécois) and African French are transcribed by the same model. Liaisons and elisions (l', qu', j') are written out in standard orthography with accents intact.
Court hearings in particular: Speaker turns and timestamps make the record navigable to the minute. A working reference for case prep — not a certified transcript; certification still needs an authorized transcriber.
