Open the original- What it measures
- The guide gives an example of a speaker change timestamp in the form [02:47] followed by the speaker's name. It also says that intervals work for long recordings and speaker changes work for interviews.
- What it does not show
- Vendor advice on formatting, not a standard. A speaker change stamp is only as precise as the transcriber's listening, so check it against the audio.
