Real-Time Highlighting

  • Sync with Video Playback: The transcript automatically highlights the section corresponding to the current video playback time.

  • Auto-Scroll: As the video plays, the transcript auto-scrolls to keep the current section visible at the top.

Manual Navigation

  • Control Video Playback via Transcript: Clicking on a transcript section will move the video to the corresponding time.

  • Return to Current Time: If you navigate away from the current transcript section, a "Return to Current Time" option appears, allowing you to quickly return to the active part of the transcript.


Language Options

  • Multilingual Support: Users can select their preferred language for the transcript, which defaults to the language set in their user profile.

  • Instant Language Change: Switching between languages (e.g., English, Spanish, German) updates the transcript in real-time.


Additional Features

  • Share Specific Transcript Sections: The Copy Link option allows users to generate a link to a specific part of the transcript. When opened, the video will start playing from that point, and the corresponding transcript section will be highlighted.

Transcript Controls

  • Next/Previous File Navigation: Easily navigate between files (e.g., from a video to a PDF) using the next and previous buttons. The transcript for the current video can be accessed by clicking the transcript icon.

  • Responsive Design: On smaller screens, the transcript icon appears without the label, ensuring the interface remains user-friendly and accessible.

Multilingual Accessibility

  • Support for Multiple Languages: The ability to switch transcript languages caters to a diverse user base, ensuring everyone can follow along in their preferred language.
