It would also be useful if you provide an option to toggle interactive transcripts on/off, as well as the ability to view the transcript as a whole. Interactive transcripts are not ideal for screen reader users.

I did look at Able Player after I built my solution, and theirs works similarly to mine, where the segments in the transcript are tabbable and clickable. As such, the tab keys are in use for that function. Able Player doesn't have a search function in their demos that I saw, but I found one video player that does and they use the < and > to navigate search matches:

I think that I'll implement that. I'll add a note about it in the keyboard instructions for the video player. I'll also have buttons or links with button role with those characters.

Thanks for everyone's feedback!

Mike
