What about Timekeeping?

     Here’s how it works. You do not have to remember to turn a timer on or off. Total Eclipse automatically records timecodes during realtime translation. Some writing machines also embed timecodes in steno files that Eclipse can retrieve for non-realtime translation.

     The Timekeeper analyzes your timecodes to report the amount of time used by various speakers.  Eclipse looks for “By-Lines” to indicate when a speaker has the floor.  For example, if you identify a speaker and then immediately begin a question paragraph, Eclipse can automatically insert the By-Line for you.  However, you can also insert By-Lines later, when you edit your document.  Either way, these By-Lines and your document timecodes are all the Eclipse timekeeper needs. 

     During realtime translation, you can open the Timekeeper to get a running total of the time used by each speaker.  When a job is over, the Timekeeper can report cumulative times.
