need help with video captions

Hello, and please excuse duplicate messages (posted on two lists),
I'm in the process of sending a transcript of a soon to be released video
on screen readers and the web. As I transcribed the screen reader
segments (many)
it became clear to me that I didn't know what I was doing. Should I
have not capitalized
anything, and used comma's only as a break? Do I capitalize segments
from the Web that
were capitalilzed (e.g., "Top Sellers").

I've included three examples below of verbatim transcripts from the
video that are segments
from what the screen reader is reading.

I'd appreciate hearing from anyone on the list who has experience
with captioning screen reader
text. Thanks in advance.
