Keep a product demo transcript in sync with the video

A business in Kağıthane may update a product demonstration when a button is renamed or the order of the steps changes. A customer who reads the transcript should be able to follow the same demonstration. Use a short clip and one edited scene to test the handover before the new video replaces the old one.

Capture the actions a visitor needs to follow

Choose a clip that shows one task from start to finish. Record the spoken instructions and any action that matters to the result, such as an indicator changing or a setting being selected. Write those visual details where they happen in the transcript. Ask a colleague who has not watched the clip to follow its written steps.

Check the transcript after editing a scene

In a test copy, move one step earlier and replace its on-screen label with a fictional new name. Update the segment order, wording and any timestamps used for navigation. Ask the reviewer to start with the updated label in the transcript and find the same action in the video. Look for an earlier instruction that still uses the old label.

Make the transcript easy to find in each language

Open the page on a phone with video playback disabled. Check that the transcript is available near the player and the visitor can identify its language. If the video uses a different spoken language, identify that separately. Compare English and French instructions with the same approved screen recording before release.

Record the version the team approved

Write down the video reference, edit date, affected scene, transcript location and reviewer for each language. If a downloadable transcript is offered, open a saved link and confirm it leads to the intended revision or clearly identifies an older one. Capture the screen that the next editor should use as the reference.
