Content and Ingesting

• Supported Audio and Video File Formats
• About Transcript Files and the OH Solution Pack
• Using Third Party Applications to Create Transcripts

Theming the Player

• The module includes bootstrap files in oralhistories.info so that the Transcript UI viewer will work for non-bootstrap themes out of the box. However, if you are using a vanilla bootstrap theme (or a theme based off of a vanilla bootstrap theme) and are experiencing trouble relating to version conflicts or some as of yet unforeseen issue, you can likely delete bootstrap/css/oh-bootstrap-all.css and bootstrap/js/bootstrap.min.js from the oralhistories.info file.
