Transcript

A text version of an audio or video recording that a person can read instead of listening.

A transcript is the full text of what is said in a podcast, a video, or a recorded meeting, with notes on important sounds and, for video, what is shown. People who are Deaf or deafblind rely on it; people who prefer skimming, searching, or quoting use it too, and search engines can index it.

For audio-only content such as a podcast, a transcript is the accessible alternative. For video, captions carry the sound and a transcript adds a readable version. The W3C’s Easy Checks include looking for transcripts as one of the first things to review on a page with media.
