"We used to ask Word Wizards to make us a transcript with a two-inch left margin. Then my staff would add time code to the text by viewing a window burn. This was a tedious and time-consuming process which was wasting time and making everyone crazy. One day, Scott Gordon (CEO) asked why we wanted the two-inch margin. I gave him a short lesson about the importance of time code. That must have started the wheels turning, because the next time we wanted a transcript, he asked us to add time code to the audio tape. It was an easy dub, and the resulting transcript saved us a lot of hassles."

"I've given Word Wizards some very detailed formatting instructions which they had no problem incorporating into my transcript. Including the time code in the margin really speeds up the paper edit; It's one more thing that I don't have to worry about."

"I was working on a program for the Discovery Channel in which I interviewed a police officer with a heavy British accent. He was speaking in a rapid-fire manner while driving in a speeding police car. Thanks to the time code in the transcript, I was able to pick a few perfect sound bites out of this chaotic 30-minute footage."
