Video Transcript Question (Bump)

for

Hi All,

I am trying this one again, as I was having some major email issues when I
sent this the first time!

For videos, I provide CC or open captioning, but I also like to include a
text transcript of the content as well. The content of the videos is
usually interviews, so there are a lot of questions and answers, and
sometimes multiple people talking.

I have done a lot of research and have not yet found a source that talks
about the best way to make that text transcript accessible (other than to
have one-which I have always done).

For example, the documents would be created in Word and would usually only
have a couple of headings at the top, but the rest of the text would just
be Q and A over and over again...Does anyone have a good example of an
accessible text transcript or an online source that talks about this aspect?

Thanks in advance,

Lisa
