-Supports both audio and video.
22

-Both Audio & Video.
23
23
- Supports either a single audio track or an entire playlist.
24
-
- Includes a full set of player controls that are keyboard-accessible, properly labeled for screen reader users, and controllable by speech recognition users.
25
-
- Includes customizable keyboard shortcuts that enable the player to be operated from anywhere on the web page (unless there are multiple instances of the player on a given page; then the player must have focus for keyboard shortcuts to work).
26
-
- Features high contrast, scalable controls that remain visible in Windows High Contrast mode, plus an easy-to-see focus indicator so keyboard users can easily tell which control currently has focus.
27
-
- Supports closed captions and subtitles in Web Video Timed Text (WebVTT) format, the standard format recommended by the HTML5 specification.
28
-
- Supports chapters, also using WebVTT. Chapters are specific landing points in the video, allowing video content to have structure and be more easily navigated.
29
-
- Supports text-based audio description, also using WebVTT. At designated times, the description text is read aloud by browsers, or by screen readers for browsers that don't support the Web Speech API. Users can optionally set their player to pause when audio description starts to avoid conflicts between the description and program audio.
30
-
- Supports spoken captions, as described in the "Spoken subtitles" requirement to EN 301 549. If enabled by a user, caption timing will be estimated and speed is dynamically adjusted to fit the available time. User can select a default speed, pitch, and volume for captions.
31
-
- Supports audio description as a separate video. When two videos are available (one with description and one without), both can be delivered together using the same player and users can toggle between the versions.
32
-
- Supports adjustable playback rate. Users who need to slow down the video to better process and understand its content can do so; and users who need to speed up the video to maintain better focus can do so.
33
-
- Includes an interactive transcript feature, built from the WebVTT chapter, caption and description files as the page is loaded. Users can click anywhere in the transcript to start playing the video (or audio) at that point. Keyboard users can also choose to keyboard-enable the transcript, so they can tab through its content one caption at a time and press enter to play the media at the desired point.
34
-
- Features automatic text highlighting within the transcript as the media plays. This feature is enabled by default but can be turned off if users find it distracting.
35
-
- Supports YouTube and Vimeo videos.
36
-
- Provides users with the ability to customize the display of captions and subtitles. Users can control the font style, size, and color of caption text; plus background color and transparency; all from the Preferences dialog. They can also choose to position captions *below* the video instead of the default position (an semi-transparent overlay).

To manually code the transcript, one simple strategy is to first allow Able Player to *automatically* generate a transcript. Then copy and paste its content as a starting point. To manually code a transcript from scratch, use the following markup (see [Video Demo #7] for an example):
