 +====== Media > Transcript Reader ======
 +
 +This [[pagetypes|page]] allows for points on an audio recording to be synched with sections of text.  This can be used to synch a transcript with an audio recording, but as the written text does not have to match the audio, the range of potential uses is broader.
 +
 +The **Synched Video **page type produces similar effects for video.
