Indonesian documentary interviews and field footage, transcribed properly
Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia): One of the strongest Southeast Asian languages in Whisper. Colloquial Jakarta speech mixes in English and slang; the model keeps up, though heavy Javanese code-switching deserves review.
Documentary footages in particular: Timecoded text is the paper edit: find the moment in text, cut in the timeline. Searchable rushes, pull-quote selects and subtitle files for screeners.
