Have you tried it with both Chrome and Firefox? They may use the same video playback libraries under Android, in which case it wouldn't matter which you used.
Specific issues:
How do I ensure quality work? I am happy to pay for this but not for shoddy work.
You could start with a small sample, check the quality of the work and pay for more if satisfied. This assumes (perhaps wrongly) that the quality will be consistent. Of course, if the quality is unacceptable then at least you'll find this out without having to spend much money. I would also check the licences for the videos; if they're under Creative Commons or similar you might be authorized to write transcripts, but it's best to make sure to avoid legal issues. I'm sure there are services that employ people in low-wage countries to do exactly this kind of work - the same countries that host a growing proportion of corporate call centres.
