I'm not sure if AblePlayer has industry standard keystrokes, but they've certainly had interactive transcripts for years. You can find them on GitHub.

When I'm searching for things on a webpage (including a webpage with an interactive transcript) I'll press control+'f' then F3 and shift+F3 to bounce through all of the results. I think that those are probably standard keystrokes for most browsers and assistive technologies.

Cheers,
David

Subject: [WebAIM] Interactive video transcript with search feature

Hi,

I've recently built an interactive transcript feature for our video player in our courses. Part of this is the ability to search the transcript. All search matches are denoted by a mark tag. Should I give assistive tech and keyboard users a way to jump from match to match? I was thinking that they would jump to the beginning of the segment with the match. Would that be helpful or confusing? If helpful, are there industry standard keys for next and previous in search results?

Thanks,
Mike
