What about an auto-scrolling transcript? There is a little bit of setup involved, but it should solve the problem with minimal real estate.

I built a POC awhile ago which basically amounted to wrapping the sentences in spans and highlighting the appropriate span at specific times (via JS). I'm not sure if there is a more elegant way to accomplish the same thing or if there are other accessibility issues … I didn't explore that because it was just a POC.

Subject: [WebAIM] Ideas to display video/audio transcripts

Hello everyone, I hope you are doing well. I am trying to find creative
ways to display transcripts on screens with limited real estate. These
screens are generated using authoring tools (Captivate, Storyline, etc.)
Sometimes screens have text on the left, important images to the right and
audio. We need to show the transcript but if we put the transcript button
with a popup to the right of the text, the images will be covered once the
user clicks the button to display the transcript. Unfortunately, the popups
are not movable.

We tried adding the transcript at the bottom but that does not work either.
Having the script display in a PDF in a separate window is an option but it
would require us to ensure all PDF's are accessible.

Do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks
