Hausa press conferences and briefings, 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.
Press conferences in particular: Every statement is quotable with a timestamp — attribution survives the scrum. Same-hour quotes, full-text search across briefings, and a clean record of what was said.
