Hausa audiobook and narration sessions, transcribed properly
Hausa (Harshen Hausa): Boko (Latin) script output with hooked letters (ɓ, ɗ, ƙ) preserved. English and Arabic loans are handled; plan a review pass for tone-dependent ambiguities.
Audiobook narrations in particular: Long-form single-voice audio is the engine's best case — accuracy peaks here. Proof-listening scripts, pickup lists and a text reference against the manuscript.
