Hausa tutorials and screencasts, transcribed properly
Hausa (Harshen Hausa): Boko (Latin) script output with hooked letters (ɓ, ɗ, ƙ) preserved. English and Arabic loans are handled; plan a review pass for tone-dependent ambiguities.
Tutorials in particular: Step-by-step narration becomes searchable text mapped to the minute it happens on screen. Written guides from spoken walkthroughs, captions for the video, searchable help content.
