Heartstrings Accessibility Transcript

I created the following accessibility transcript for the video above.

[TRANSCRIPT]

In a living room, a toy train with a Santa figurine moves around a Christmas tree. 

Mother: We got it last week. 

[TRAIN WHISTLING] 

Daughter: [LAUGHING] I think I know what it is!

Beside the Christmas tree, a mother hands a large wrapped gift to her teenage daughter.

Daughter: Are you serious? [LAUGHS] You guys, thank you.

On a couch, a father holds a mug and looks on with a blank stare. 

Mother: We got the color that you wanted.

The teen unwraps a guitar case.

[RIPPING] [MUFFLED RIPPING]

Now, in a home video, the daughter in early childhood unwraps a toy guitar. 

[MUFFLED VOICES] 

A montage of of home videos of the daughter at different ages plays. She laughs, plays a toy guitar, sits at a piano, points to the sky, speaks into a fan, flashes peace signs, and waves “goodbye.”

[MUFFLED VOICES CONTINUE]

Now, the teenage daughter begins to play the guitar. The mother puts her hand on the father’s shoulder.

[MUFFLED MUSIC PLAYS]

Mother: [MUFFLED] John, listen.

John grabs his AirPods Pro 2 and places the right bud in his ear.

[MUSIC PLAYS CLEARLY] 

Daughter: [SINGING] I’ll light the fire. You place the flowers in the vase that you bought today. 

On his iPhone, John increases a volume control.

[VOLUME INCREASES]

Titles: The new Hearing Aid feature on AirPods Pro 2. Available with the latest firmware when paired with a compatible iPhone with iOS 18 or later or other compatible Apple devices. Intended for people 18 years or older with perceived mild to moderate hearing loss. 

Now, John lifts his gaze. He recalls memories of his daughter. The montage of home videos plays again. The early-childhood daughter sits next to a pile of presents and unwraps a yellow guitar.

Mother: What is it?

Daughter: A yellow guitar!

Mother: Are you so excited? Here you go.

Now, an adult hands the toddler daughter a full-size guitar.

Mother: Hailey!

Baby Hailey looks over while playing her pink guitar.

Hailey: Happy birthday.

Now, early-childhood Hailey is lying on a snowy patch of grass and wears colorful winter outwear. She wiggles her legs and arms.

Hailey: Cheese! 

She sits at a piano.

Hailey: Look, there’s a picture of me and you, daddy!

Now, outside, middle-childhood Hailey points up at the sky.

Hailey: Look at the moon.

A full moon shines in the sky at twilight.

Hailey: [SINGING] Our house is a very, very, very fine house.

Now Hailey lies in bed with her legs outstretched up on the wall.

Hailey: Daddy, tickle me!

[SQUEALING and GIGGLING]

She speaks through a whirring fan.

Hailey: [DISTORTED] I am a robot. 

She smiles and scrunches her nose.

[GIGGLING]

Hailey: What is that?

A puppy licks Hailey’s face and she smiles and closes her eyes. 

Mother: [PLAYFULLY] What are you doing? 

The montage continues. Teenage Hailey blows out birthday candles. Now, on an ice skating rink, she makes two peace signs with her hands.

Hailey: See ya. 

Hailey: [SINGING] Now everything is easy ’cause of…

Middle-childhood Hailey enters the front door of her school and looks back.

Hailey: I love you…

Baby Hailey lies in a crib. 

Hailey: …Dada.

Hailey: [SINGING] …you.

Teenage Hailey finishes singing and smiles at John. A single tear trickles down his face.

[EXHALES SHARPLY]

The Christmas tree stands in the background behind a shelf of family pictures.
