Hausa user interviews and usability 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.
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.
