Hello all,
I was asked "Do transcripts need to be time-stamped?" (see example below). I've been referring to the W3C's WCAG 2.0 guidelines<http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG/#media-equiv>; but I do not see it as a transcript requirement (i.e. time stamp). Is that correct that transcripts do not need to be time stamped or am I overlooking it?

Example: Mr. Smith: (00:00:00) This is an example of how a time-stamped (00:00:03) document might look once we are finished (00:00:06) with it when you request timestamps (00:00:09).

With appreciation,
