If you go: https://www.ted.com/talks/melissa_fleming_a_boat_carrying_500_refugees_sunk_at_sea_the_story_of_two_survivors/transcript
you will notice that they use some (javascript) strategy to link the video section to the transcript (in that case of 26 languages) in actionably and two-way fashion. You will notice that the textual segment is being highlighted as the speaker talks. So: https://www.ted.com/talks/melissa_fleming_a_boat_carrying_500_refugees_sunk_at_sea_the_story_of_two_survivors/transcript#t-55066 will bring you to: "Früher eine aufstrebende Schülerin, nur auf ihre Zukunft bedacht, war sie jetzt ständig voller Angst." and the other way around as well, if you click on that part of the talk the video will be accordingly reset to that moment; so, if you click on the phrase: "Ich arbeite, du kannst studieren -- die Möglichkeit eines neuen Lebens" the video will be correspondingly moved to: #t-80372 You can even change the language of the transcript as the video is watch and the textual segments will be reset as well! ~ Using a WebView you can access the link itself: https://www.ted.com/talks/melissa_fleming_a_boat_carrying_500_refugees_sunk_at_sea_the_story_of_two_survivors/transcript and watch the video without the synchronization to the subtitles and/or the option to change the language of the transcript. Using a javafx.scene.media.MediaView you can watch the video locally (with the embedded captions for the chosen language after downloading it from them). I need the kind of synchronization capability that ted is offering, but I don't see how you could achieve this using the javafx API. In fact, I haven't seen such a thing in software other than ted and if you can do that with javascript sure can you do it with JavaFX. Basically, all you need is a way to register a listener interface to the synchronizing strategy of the (MV)Controller exposing the beat of the video. How could you do such a thing with JavaFX? lbrtchx
