Accessing the transcripts within Echo360 player
If your Video has transcription of the spoken text available for viewing, you can open the Transcription panel clicking the transcription button from the video toolbar, as shown in the below figure. Clicking the icon again closes the transcription panel
Video and text syncing and skip to video location
Select a different segment from within the currently displayed portion of the transcription, and the video will sync to that location and continue playing.
Scrolling through the transcription panel pauses the video. This allows you to find the segment you are looking for without the transcription panel trying to re-locate back to the actively playing section, which would cause the panel to scroll back and forth.
Click any segment from anywhere in the transcription to sync the video to that location; click Play to begin playing at that point.
If you scroll through the transcription but want to return to the segment that was playing instead of selecting a different one, simply click Play. The video will resume playing and the transcription panel will return to the playback location. In addition, the segment that had been playing remains highlighted, so you can scroll back through the transcription to easily find it without needing to resume playback.
Scrolling through the video using the play bar or the FFWD and REV buttons also move the transcription panel to the corresponding location in the transcript.
