Hausa depositions and legal proceedings, 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.
Depositions in particular: Speaker separation keeps examiner and deponent apart, and timestamps let you cite to the minute. A working draft for review and exhibit prep — not a certified transcript, but ready hours earlier.
