Re: Ideas to display video/audio transcripts

Thanks! The challenge we have is that since we use an authoring tool, we
don't have access to the backend HTML. I agree with you Sandy, if they can
close the transcript option should be ok. However, they may be instances
where the audio explains an image and it would be best to see the
transcript while you are looking at the image.
