Problem/Motivation

Transcript display, including interactive synced transcript, is a feature of Able Player, but there is no specific mention of transcript capability in the d.o description of this module, or in the README.md, or in the UI when editing a video media. From issues such as https://www.drupal.org/project/ableplayer/issues/3050827 and https://www.drupal.org/project/ableplayer/issues/3351115 it is somehow possible to achieve an interactive transcript, but it's not clear how.

(I have achieved interactive transcript, but only by adding markup directly into the ableplayer-video.html.twig file to trigger ableplayer behaviours.)

Proposed resolution

Please expand README.md with notes describing how to achieve transcript support in Able Player module.
* Perhaps a field description could be added to "Ableplayer Media Caption" field mentioning that a vtt file loaded here can be used for interactive transcript.
* Is it possible to show a transcript for default language? e.g. /admin/config/regional/language only defines a single language.

Thanks for the feedback. There should not be any additional steps to make the interactive transcript work for local videos. This is a screenshot from a local video I use to test.

Interactive transcript alongside the video that is playing. Text being spoken is white on a black background.

I'll review the README and try to improve the documentation. Thank you.
