They may use the same video playback libraries under Android, in which case it wouldn't matter which you used. 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.

If so then you could use youtube-dl to download the files, convert them, and then send them to your tablet. I watch a lot of youtube and other videos on Android phones which I download at home, FTP to the phone, and then watch later. So if I was to try and achieve similar goals to yours then inserting a video transcoding step in my video workflow would be my plan. Does avconv do this? It does lots of things if you can figure out how to make it do it. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
