Indonesian interviews, 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.
Interviews in particular: Speaker labels separate interviewer from interviewee, and word timestamps let you cite the exact moment. Verbatim quotes for articles and papers, or a clean Q&A ready to code in NVivo or ATLAS.ti.
