Yes, something like that would be useful...with each word and the time (and 
possibly duration) of the word.

Or, working more from the current functionality, even having start and end 
times for each alternative would be helpful (but not as helpful as timing 
for each word). Example:

      {
        "alternatives": [
          {
            "transcript": "oh sure yeah sure no problem",
            "confidence": 0.92214179
            "start_time_s": 15.32
            "end_time_s": 16.87
          }
        ]
      },

Our use case is analyzing call center recordings for business analytics 
purposes. Once the STT is done, it's loaded back into our system along with 
the recording. We use word timings so that call center managers can quickly 
jump to interesting sections of the recordings, or to display the text as 
the recording is being played karaoke style.


That leads to another small question - we're currently loading relatively 
long (minutes to hours) recordings to google storage and submitting those 
urls to google speech. The STT breaks it into "alternatives" of various 
sizes. Can you elaborate how those divisions are made?
