490+ If the transcript is assembled from multiple sources, any timing imperfections between sources
491+ come sometimes lead to problems in the read order within the transcript. For example,
492+ a new chapter should start * before* any captions or descriptions within that chapter.
493+ If the chapter starts a millisecond later than its first caption, the chapter name will appear
494+ in the transcript as a heading * after* its first caption. To help authors/developers attain
495+ perfect synchronization between all timed text files, Able Player (in version 3.1.6) introduced
496+ a Video Transcript Sorter (VTS). The VTS displays all timed text content from all sources
497+ in a table, and provides several features that enable users to rearrange content and
498+ modify start and end times. Users can also insert new content into the table, which can be useful
499+ for authoring low frequency content such as chapters and description. Too use VTS,
500+ add the following HTML to the desired location within any web page that includes an
