German user interviews and usability sessions, 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.
User research sessions in particular: Verbatim quotes with timestamps drop straight into affinity maps and highlight reels. Tagged quotes, research repositories and evidence your stakeholders can search.
