Latvian focus groups, transcribed properly
Latvian (latviešu): Standard Latvian output with macrons (ā, ē, ī, ū) and palatals (ģ, ķ, ļ, ņ). Russian loan-phrases inside Latvian speech are common in real recordings and handled.
Focus groups in particular: Diarization untangles overlapping voices better than session notes ever will. Coded excerpts, participant quotes and themes you can defend.
