Read along with a YouTube video

  • The video sits above the transcript. Click the chevron to hide or show it.
  • Start the video and an Auto-scroll button appears. Turn it on and the page follows along.
  • Scroll yourself and auto-scroll turns off. Click Auto-scroll to turn it back on.
  • While auto-scroll is on, the button becomes Highlight passage. It saves the line being spoken. Previous next to it saves the passage that just ended.
  • Hover a paragraph and click its time chip (like ▶ 1:23) to jump the video there. The highlighter next to the chip saves the whole paragraph.
  • Skip ahead in the player and a Jump to 12:30 button shows up after a few seconds. Click it to scroll to that spot.

iPhone and Android have the same Auto-scroll, Highlight passage, and Jump to buttons.
