Welsh oral-history recordings, transcribed properly
Welsh (Cymraeg): Standard Welsh output; ll, dd, ch digraphs and circumflexed vowels (ŵ, ŷ) come out correctly. North–south dialect differences are handled; English switches mid-sentence are the norm and transcribe cleanly.
Oral historys in particular: Word timestamps anchor every memory to its place in the recording. Preserved testimony, searchable archives and quotable history.
