Transcript on Flutter

Videos should contain a transcript to allow users to read what is shown in media, such as a video or podcast.

A basic transcript contains information needed to understand what is being said. This mostly benefits people who are deaf or hard of hearing, or have difficulty processing auditory information.

A descriptive transcript also contains visual information to understand what is being shown. This mostly benefits people who are blind or visually impaired.

With Flutter, you can use Text to display written text. Make sure to wrap the Text widget in a SingleChildScrollView and to set the overflow parameter to TextOverflow.visible. Also, the softwrap parameter needs to be set to true to prevent the text from overflowing outside its container.

SingleChildScrollView(
  child: Text(
    'Appt transcript',
    softWrap: true,
    overflow: TextOverflow.visible,
  ),
)
