Abstract: The disclosed systems and methods provide a novel framework that generates electronic, interactive transcripts for media, and dynamic playback capabilities via a user interface (UI) for the accompanying media. The framework generates a transcript file from an audio file, where the transcript functions as a media item itself via included deep-linking interface objects associated with detected topics, context, entities, speakers, sections, and the like. Accordingly, specific text within the transcript is selectable thereby causing search functionalities, and the transcript is segmented according to different identified speakers. The framework provides controls that enable synchronizing audio to specific terms, and portions and/or speaker tags within the transcript, which enables rendering of specific portions of the audio file directly from the transcript across terms and speakers.
