Pashto panels and roundtables, 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.
Panel discussions in particular: Cross-talk is the hard case — clear turn-taking transcribes near-perfectly. Quotable highlights, session recaps and an archive attendees can search.
