Somali tutorials and screencasts, transcribed properly
Somali (Soomaali): Latin-script output in standard Somali orthography. Diaspora recordings with English or Arabic mixing are common and handled; review mixed passages.
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.
