TIMESTAMPS
A timestamp is an indication (also called a marker) which tells us at what time / when the relevant text was spoken. They are represented in the format [HH:MM:SS]; where HH are hours, MM are minutes, and SS are seconds - from the beginning of the audio or video file.
There are different kinds of timestamps as below:
1. Periodic timestamps - Periodic timestamps appear at a consistent frequency. They can appear for every 15 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, or 2 minutes.
2. Paragraph timestamps
3. Sentence timestamps
4. Speaker timestamps
Time stamping format used while transcribing audio files is:
[00:00:00]
where [hour:minute:second]
so 5th minute is [00:05:00]
If the 5 - 15 minute part of an audio has to be transcribed stamping should be started at [00:05:00]
If a client requests time stamping every 30 seconds the next timestamp would be [00:05:30]
