Amara’s new transcript viewer
Today we started using our new transcript viewer on every video embed on our site. 
The new embedder boasts a sleak design as it displays the searchable transcript. You can click on any phrase to jump to that place in the video, easily switch back and forth between languages, and follow along as the text progresses.
Finally, the new embedder supports both video and audio files, so we now have video page playback support for mp3 and ogg audio as well.
We’re so happy to have the embedder on our website. If you’d like to try the new embedder to promote captioning and translation of your videos, the embed code is greatly simplified. You’ll find it in the usual spot on the video page or in the embed code usage guide.
