Hausa radio shows and broadcast segments, 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.
Radio shows in particular: Ads, sweepers and songs transcribe as heard; segment boundaries deserve a scan. Compliance logs, quotable segments and a searchable archive of every show.
