Pashto focus groups, transcribed properly
Pashto (پښتو): Perso-Arabic script output with Pashto-specific letters (ښ, ږ, ړ) preserved. Dari and Urdu switches inside Pashto recordings deserve review; clear single-speaker audio performs best.
Focus groups in particular: Diarization untangles overlapping voices better than session notes ever will. Coded excerpts, participant quotes and themes you can defend.
