Transcript System and Audio Experience Overhaul
Full transcripts, a persistent audio player, and major study-focused improvements have been added across the platform.
Transcript System and Audio Experience Overhaul
Hello everyone — this is a big update and one we’ve been working toward for a while.
We’ve introduced a full transcript system across the entire platform, along with major improvements to the audio experience. These changes are designed to make Last Minute Lecture feel less like a collection of pages and more like a continuous, flexible study tool.
Audio Experience Improvements
Sticky Audio Player
The audio player now follows you across the website. You can continue listening while browsing chapters, books, or other pages without interruption. This creates a more seamless study experience without restarting audio on each page.
Transcript System
Full Transcript Coverage
Every chapter now includes a full transcript, fully integrated into the page. These are designed to be used actively while studying, not just as a reference.
Interactive Transcripts
Transcripts are now fully interactive. You can search within them to find key concepts quickly, and clicking any line will jump directly to that exact moment in the audio.
Word Follow (Real-Time Sync)
The transcript tracks the audio in real time. The current word or line is automatically highlighted as it plays, creating a synchronized reading and listening experience.
Study Mode
A dedicated study mode has been added to improve focus. This reduces visual noise and makes transcripts easier to follow during longer sessions.
Adjustable Text Size
You can now increase or decrease transcript text size to match your preference and improve readability across devices.
Full Screen Transcript Mode
Transcripts can now be viewed in full screen, allowing you to isolate the content and study without distractions.
System Validation
The entire transcript library has been validated to ensure consistency across thousands of chapters and prevent missing or mismatched content from going live.
Additional Improvements
Share Improvements
Sharing chapters has been refined to be faster and more integrated into the overall experience.
We are continuing to improve the platform based on student feedback. If you would like to see a feature added or spot something that needs to be addressed, please do not hesitate to reach out.
