Script and dialects

Korean output, written the right way

Output is in Hangul. Standard Seoul Korean transcribes best. Korean honorific levels and frequent English loanwords are handled, though regional dialects such as Gyeongsang or Jeju speech are harder. The free Turbo model is noticeably weaker on Korean, so Studio is the better choice.
