Re: Interactive video transcript with search feature

I did look at Able Player after I built my solution, and theirs works
similarly to mine, where the segments in the transcript are tabbable and
clickable. As such, the tab keys are in use for that function. Able
Player doesn't have a search function in their demos that I saw, but I
found one video player that does and they use the < and > to navigate
search matches:

I think that I'll implement that. I'll add a note about it in the keyboard
instructions for the video player. I'll also have buttons or links with
button role with those characters.

Thanks for everyone's feedback!

Mike
