Indonesian sermons and services, 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.
Sermons in particular: Timestamps make it easy to pull the key passage for the bulletin. Sermon archives, devotionals and accessibility for the congregation.
