Japanese focus groups, transcribed properly
Japanese (日本語): Output is written Japanese with kanji/kana chosen from context — not romaji. Sentence segmentation works despite Japanese not using spaces; word-level timestamps still map each token to the audio for subtitles.
Focus groups in particular: Speaker labels untangle overlapping voices better than session notes ever will. Coded excerpts, participant quotes and themes you can defend.
