Question

If a client requests timestamping every two minutes, how would it look

Answer 1

If a client requests timestamping every two minutes it would look like  -  [00:02:00]

Timestamps are markers which show when the adjacent text was spoken. They are used in transcription. They are in the format [HH:MM:SS]. HH are hours, MM are minutes, and SS are seconds from the beginning of the video or audio file.

There are different types of timestamps such as periodic timestamps, paragraph timestamps, sentence timestamps and speaker timestamps.

Periodic timestamps appear at a consistent frequency. They can be for every 15 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, or 2 minutes.

Answer 2

If a client requests timestamping every two minutes, you will have to opt for a periodic timestamp. Such timestamps are used for raw video footages and when timestamps are not very frequent.

In the given scenario, the timestamp is placed next to the word that is said after two minutes. As a result, the timestamp can appear anywhere in the file. It can also be at various places in between the dialog to be transcripted.
