Or if you are listening and want to copy and paste a segment of the transcript for you newsletter, school report or blog, just pause and scan down the scranscript, The section you were hearing is highlighted in blue.</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This very cool, new interactive transcript technology has been provided by a great little start</span></p>
