German podcast episodes, transcribed properly
German (Deutsch): Standard German plus Austrian and Swiss Standard German; strong on long compound nouns. Compounds like Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung come through as single words, capitalized correctly. Swiss German dialect (Schwiizerdütsch) is harder than Standard German — expect to review those recordings.
Podcasts in particular: Speaker labels keep host and guests apart across a full episode. Show notes, promotional quotes and SRT captions for the video version.
