Indonesian focus groups, 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.
Focus groups in particular: Diarization untangles overlapping voices better than session notes ever will. Coded excerpts, participant quotes and themes you can defend.
