Yoruba depositions and legal proceedings, transcribed properly
Yoruba (Èdè Yorùbá): Latin-script output; tone diacritics are attempted but deserve review — tone carries meaning in Yoruba. Code-switching with English — universal in Lagos recordings — is handled.
Depositions in particular: Speaker separation keeps examiner and deponent apart, and timestamps let you cite to the minute. A working draft for review and exhibit prep — not a certified transcript, but ready hours earlier.
