Transcribe audio in Chinese
Mandarin is tonal: the same sound changes meaning with the tone, which makes transcription harder than it looks. The output comes back in Chinese characters rather than pinyin, because that's what works for captioning and publishing. The language available is Mandarin — Cantonese comes back considerably less accurate.
