Tamil radio shows and broadcast segments, transcribed properly
Tamil (தமிழ்): Tamil-script output; formal speech does noticeably better than rapid colloquial Chennai speech. Diglossia is real in Tamil — written-style formal audio (news, lectures) is strong; spoken-style needs 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.
