Yoruba radio shows and broadcast segments, 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.
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.
