Hi Silvia and all, > Sometimes. But sometimes people consume the transcript together with > the video.

Agreed. Sometimes people consume the transcript with the video. But not everyone worldwide has the availability of broadband. Not everyone can use the video itself. For instance, 56K dialup is the only internet connectivity for some people. Text is the only option to obtain video content. Video grinds everything to a crawl or halt or crash in that use case (of which I know too well). The deaf-blind use case is similar. They have zero need for the bandwidth hogging of a video when all they want is a collated text transcript. Best Regards, Laura -- Laura L. Carlson
