Russian focus groups, transcribed properly
Russian (русский): Cyrillic output with correct case morphology and punctuation. Handles the reduced vowels of fast speech; Ukrainian-accented Russian is common in real recordings and transcribes fine.
Focus groups in particular: Diarization untangles overlapping voices better than session notes ever will. Coded excerpts, participant quotes and themes you can defend.
