Sinhala radio shows and broadcast segments, transcribed properly
Sinhala (සිංහල): Sinhala-script output in standard orthography. Treat output as a fast first draft; Tamil and English switches deserve review.
Radio shows in particular: Ads, sweepers and songs transcribe as heard; segment boundaries deserve a scan. Compliance logs, quotable segments and a searchable archive of every show.
