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.

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.

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?
