Timestamping
Timestamping marks transcript text with the time it occurs in the recording — per segment, per speaker turn, or per word — so text and audio can be navigated together.
Coarse timestamps (every paragraph or speaker turn) are enough for citation and review; word-level timing unlocks interactive transcripts, precise clips and caption files. Timestamp accuracy comes from the model or a forced-alignment pass.
