Question

The client requires time stamping every two minutes. You need to transcribe the 10-20 minute part of the audio. Where do you start time stamping?
a) [00:20:00]
b) [00:02:00]
c) [00:10:00]

Answer 1

The answer is Option C.

You should start time stamping at [00:10:20].

Explanation:

To transcribe the 10-20 minute part of the audio, time stamping must start at the 10th minute and is denoted as [00:10:00]. Since the time stamping is done at a time interval of two minutes, the second time stamp is [00:12:00] followed by the third [00:14:00] time stamp. This  goes on till the final time stamp at [00:20:00].

Answer 2

Timestamping: A sequence of encoded information identifying the occurrence of a certain event is called as timestamping. It is usually the date and time of day and sometimes accurate to fraction of a second.

For timestamping audio files,

The format to be used is,

[00:00:00]    

where,

[Hour:Minute:Second]

There are different types of timestamps. They are,

• Periodic timestamps
• Paragraph timestamps
• Sentence timestamps  
• Speaker timestamps

The client requires time stamping every two minutes, Periodic timestamps can be used with the period set to be 2 minutes.

Timestamping can be started at [00:10:00] till the end of the audio [00:20:00]

The answer is (c) [00:10:00]
