FAQ

Timestamp transcription FAQs

What is the timestamp interval?

By default, timestamps appear at natural speech boundaries (sentences or speaker changes). Pro users can configure custom intervals like every 30 seconds or every minute.

Can timestamps be customized?

Yes, Pro users can adjust timestamp frequency and format. Options include HH:MM:SS, MM:SS, or seconds-only formats depending on your needs.

What's the difference from captions?

Timestamps mark specific points in a transcript for reference and navigation. Captions (SRT/VTT) are time-synced text for video display. Both use similar timing data but serve different purposes.

How accurate are the timestamps?

Timestamps are accurate within ±100ms of the actual speech, which is more than precise enough for navigation and citation purposes.

Can I edit timestamps after transcription?

Yes, you can adjust timestamps in our transcript editor if needed. Changes sync automatically when you export.
