Wistia Transcript AND Our Own?

[TheDude]

Wistia has a feature that allows you to have them create a transcript for your video that highlights the words as the video progress, kind of like Karaoke.

I am just playing with implementing this feature, but am not sure whether Google can index the transcript within the Wistia player (see code in link below).  Currently I have the Wistia transcript for auto-highlighting functionality AND my manually typed static transcript at the bottom of the page.

Should I incorporate both or will Google see the Wistia transcript?

Hey, great question...I thought I would just help out and provide a little more insight as to how this works.

When you use a Wistia SEO embed that includes a transcript, in addition to having the interactive transcript widget, we also include the text of the transcript in a

<noscript>tag to aid in the indexing of the text.  </p></noscript>

Thanks Ben!  I just started with Wistia, but I am blown away...and that is after I had high expectations from SEOMoz and the likes.

What happens if I edit the transcript? Will it still highlight properly if I do a word for word swap?

Glad you're liking Wistia!

If you need a correction to the transcript, just drop us a line at support -at- wistia -dot- com and we'll take care of it for you!
