three two", uh -

And then I - I also had optional things like accuracy,

<Segment StartTime="174.449" EndTime="180.318" Participant="me011">
and then "I_D equals T_ one, uh, one seven". <Comment Description="while writing on the whiteboard"/> And then,

<NonVocalSound Description="writing on whiteboard"/>
</Segment>
<Segment StartTime="181.402" EndTime="187.510" Participant="me011">
I also wanted to - to be i- to be able to not specify specifically what the time was and just have a stamp.

</Segment>
<Segment StartTime="189.839" EndTime="194.543" Participant="me011">
Yeah, so these are arbitrary, assigned by a program, not - not by a user. So you have a whole bunch of those.
</Segment>
<Segment StartTime="194.543" EndTime="198.571" Participant="me011">
<VocalSound Description="inbreath"/> And then somewhere la- further down you might have something like an utterance tag
</Segment>
<Segment StartTime="199.281" EndTime="200.910" Participant="me011">
which has "start

<Segment StartTime="201.980" EndTime="206.185" Participant="me011">

</Segment>
<Segment StartTime="206.185" EndTime="210.830" Participant="me011">
So what <Emphasis> that's </Emphasis> saying is, we know it starts at this particular time. We don't <Emphasis> know </Emphasis> when it <Emphasis> ends. </Emphasis>
</Segment>
<Segment StartTime="210.680" EndTime="211.535" Participant="fe016">
<VocalSound Description="inbreath"/> O_K.
</Segment>
<Segment StartTime="211.358" EndTime="217.266" Participant="me011">
Right? But it ends at this T_eighteen, which may be somewhere else. We say there's another utterance.
</Segment>
<Segment StartTime="218.244" EndTime="222.890" Participant="me011">
We don't know what the t- <Emphasis> time </Emphasis> actually is but we know that it's the same time as this end time.
