Extension summary

This (unofficial) extension is used to allow transcript files to be viewed at the same time as watching a video on Pluralsight. Anytime you are on a video playback page, you can click the orange Page Action to open a new window with the transcript.

New in v 1.1: Transcript now loads on more pages. Module #s that are embedded in the middle of a name are now parsed correctly from the query string. Eg. name=understanding-nosql-m0-what-is from course understanding-nosql.

Key features:

  • Transcript automatically highlights and makes text larger on active module/clip
  • The transcript view will auto-scroll so that you are always able to see the latest text
  • The current segment of the clip that is being narrated will be highlighted in yellow to easily follow along
  • Scrolling up or down past the "auto-scroll" area will allow manual scrolling

This extension is not associated with Pluralsight in any way and is made available as-is under the MIT license.

Doesn't work. "Loading Transcript... If this doesn't load in 10 seconds or less, the video most likely does not have a transcript available. Please be sure to have the targeted course video player open, or the transcript information cannot be transmitted properly". Is the only thing that will show up for any video selected. I don't recommend.

Works awesome, great for following along the video while reading the transcript. Would be nice to be able to click a line and have it go to that point in the video.
