Identify "long" silence in the text and/or timeline
In transcript, we cannot see easily when there is a long silence in a paragraph for a given speaker.
Such long silence can happen in situation like:
- a chairperson announcing a coffee break and restarting the meeting later
- an interpreter track, the interpreter being silent when no interpretation is needed, and continuing later
- Zoom cloud recording with individual record for each participants (one record per participants)
It is then difficult to find where to split a paragraph to have a better time view of the intervention of a person (being the chairperson, an interpreter or any participant). For interpreter, this is particularly important, as it allows to better align interpreter transcripts with the floor (merging the transcript to obtain for example a "transcript only in English)
We could imagine:
a special color in the timeline indicating silence (like we have a color for highlighted text)
a marker in the paragraph, for example something like several successive dots β¦β¦, or an easily identifiable placeholder like [ ββ ]
splitting speaker paragraph automatically for long silence
Ideally, the length of a long silence should be customisable, but a value like 4 seconds could be already a good default value.
We can already identify such ling silence export the transcript in csv with time stamp for each word, and adding some easy formula with excel, but this is time consuming.
Thank you in advance for taking this request into consideration,
