Other than being able to click on parts of the transcription another way you could use this service is to just read the transcription and not bother with the video. I think this is a great service for this very reason. When I was doing A/V at PyCon someone requested audio transcriptions of the talks and this would be a great tool to perform that very task.

Well, we do have an API and we're trying to pimp it out more. If you're interested, ping [email protected] and we'll hook you up.

Would love to see this for lectures in iTunes and be able to skip around to get to the juicy parts.
