A timestamped transcript, with recognition errors

The Transcript tab under a video lists lines with timestamps (00:00, 00:05, 00:10…), with a switch between timestamped and paragraph layouts. Several lines contain speech-recognition errors, such as “Full Or Theological Seminary” for Fuller Theological Seminary.

Design takeaway

Timestamped transcripts let people check what a speaker said and jump to it. Automatic transcripts need correcting before they are shown as a record of what was said, and especially before anyone quotes them.

Study helps

From a preview card under the verse, through a sheet and a study panel, to a page of its own or help only on request: decide where commentary, cross-references and sermon clips open, how readers find them, and how they get back to the verse.

Bible audio

From text alone, through a listen button and read-along, to audio built for a dark screen and fully produced devotionals: decide how much the voice leads, whose voice it is, and how a listening session ends.
