There's a feature than makes me able to share a direct link that jumps to specific minute and second in a video (by adding #t=1m02s at the end of the link - see http://youtubetime.com - and I wonder if there's anything similar available at dotSUB.com ?

Thank you.

   Hi Sam. We have a pretty cool feature that we call an "interactive transcript" Below is a link. Select a language, you will see the transcript on the right, start the video, mouse over the transcript and click on a line and it will take you to that place in the video. This is not a feature that is available to our non paying customers, but we plan on making this available to all at some point in the future.

   Hi Ed

   I can only agree with you that you have done pretty amazing thing. Thank you.

   I still however wonder how many man-hours (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man-hour) would it require of your team to implement a small modification to the existing "interactive transcript", namely, so that it would look the same as (more familiar) already existing "timed transcript" (such as this one http://dotsub.com/view/8faa77e7-6d84-4ed6-881a-42bf4280929f/viewTra... ) ?

   Hi:

   Humm yes you are correct it would not be too difficult to do. The reason we have not is that we have never had anyone ask for that specifically. The client's who are utilizing the interactive transcript just want to jump to that point in the video and have not been concerned with the actual time codes.

   Good idea though I am going to talk to our tech guys and see what they think.

   Thanks for the suggestion!
