Generally, even if there are time codes in a transcript such as these,
it's usually based on when the text was entered and not necessarily when
it was spoken. The delta between the two usually varies a bit, plus
there's always the challenge of fitting long text into limited caption
space. But it depends on the company and the software involved. It's
continually evolving, largely driven by the ability to do search.
Another bit of advice that you might want to warn attendees about is
that live transcription will have errors, sometimes humorous. In
particular, unless the transcriptionists have domain expertise in
libraries and/or tech work, there will be errors. This one of the
greater challenges in providing transcription (and also ASL) in
university classrooms. It can be hard to find transcribers who know the
material.

I was just drafting a reply! Indeed, as Shaun indicates, the software to
access the transcription with the vendor we’re beginning to work with will be
primarily made available through a web-based interface which can be accessed
from laptops, phones, tablets, etc. Finalized transcripts will be delivered
after the fact to the conference planning group to be turned into timecoded
captions later for archived recordings — I’m not sure if part of the finalizing
process by the vendor includes adding timecodes or not, but do understand that
the finished product can be used for this.

Perhaps Kate Lynch could chime in when she gets a chance, since she has been
talking with transcription vendors. However, those details will be announced
once we finalize an agreement.
I’m almost certain they will be accessed through a website. In addition to
*accessibility*, I think two other use cases around Transcription is *remote
access* and the *archiving/documentation*, so the website approach is preferred.

Question and a comment:
How will the live transcription be presented to those attending? Separate
projection screens? Website?
As for if it will be timecoded, that really depends on the transcription
software. My general experience is that they don't do this because delays can
and do occur in transcription if there's an issue with comprehension or
correction.

Yes, as usual we are planning on streaming it and archiving it on the Code4Lib
Youtube Channel [1].
Not only that, but this year we are fortunate to have Live Transcription as
well, thanks to a sponsorship from Temple University Libraries. All the talks
will be transcribed in realtime and will be full-text-searchable. I don’t
personally know the details about whether transcriptions will have timecodes,
or if they will be synced with the videos for closed captioning, but it would
certainly be cool to be able to search for a phrase and be able to jump
directly to that spot in the video, huh?

It is certainly possible, the last 2 years the conf has been streamed on
YouTube. I am not as involved with it as I have been in years
past...perhaps Cary or someone from the org committee could answer this
better?
Thanks
