Really? I've never experienced that? If you did, then that's another pro.
ye, sometimes if you leave the browser on mobile it mutes the sound.
Or, if you use something with a mic/ change audio device /press back and then next

ye, but really annoying when you lose progress in the game because you didn't do it fast enough and annoying when you don't know how to fix it

Workaround, but saying.

Yes, but this is for the viewers of the project. If the project creator didn't do this, you can use the subtitles.

support, because this would improve accessibility and there’s no reason not to support this

but I have one suggestion: instead of a transcript, maybe it would be better to just have the current text (because lots of text might slow down the page or be annoying to navigate)

What do you mean? This is exactly what I'm suggesting.

How about some underlines under the text so the viewer knows what word it is on.

How is that useful to know?

For example, if someone put a very long line using text to speech with subtitles on, and the underline didn't exist, then the user wouldn't know what word it was on.

I know that. But why would you want to know what word it's on?

There could be a filter if a user needs it.

Honestly I don't see the point of knowing what word it's on if it's anything besides karaoke

I agree, and karakoe isn't exactly common on Scratch.

Support, I'm deaf and need subtitles for basically everything, lol. Plus, it's a nice feature for everyone else!

Semi-support, other language voices' texts need to be manipulated to say correct English or the correct pronunciation. For example, you would need to put “Łats jor nejm?” in the Polish voice to say “What's your name?”
