<div>Dear Brian,</div>
<div> Unfortunately, none of the CLAN programs use the information in the %tim tier to computer anything. Instead, as the manual notes, the TIMEDUR program specifically relies on information in the time bullets for each utterance. I am afraid I can’t think
of any work around to help you out on this. The closest I could imagine is to use KWAL to output all of the %tim lines from each file separately to a single data file that then goes into a sheet in EXCEL or something like that. However, I can’t think of
any way of doing this inside CLAN, because our programs are dependent on using information in the time bullets.</div>

<div dir="ltr">Hi everyone,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm a new user and I have been doing some work to convert a homegrown transcription system to CHAT files. The transcriptions I converted all had a start time that was the timestamp from the videos and every X utterances, transcribers were asked to write
another timestamp, including specifically stamping the last utterance. I did not want to lose this information, so when I created the CHAT files I used a VB script to put the start time in with an "@Time Start: mm:ss" header and then placed all of the following
timestamps into the transcriptions with %tim tiers, resulting in a file that looks like the attached. Because these transcriptions are converted from another format, they are not linked in any way to the video using bullets.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm having a hard time finding a lot of information about getting commands to read time information written into the transcriptions or if there is a simple way to just output the total elapsed time for a transcription from the start time and %tim tiers.
From what I gather timedur does not look at %tim tiers and I can verify that when I run it on these files it outputs a blank excel sheet with timedur column headers. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am not necessarily looking to do anything fancy. I want to be able to auto-calculate the total time for identifying possible reliability concerns, report average transcribed times in a methods section, and
<i>maybe</i> be able to do some basic rate calculations in CLAN based on total time. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Is there a command I'm missing? Is there a different format, headers, or tiers I would need to use? Or is there a way I can simply get the program to output the start time and the last %tim tier for a group of files to an excel sheet so that I can calculate
the elapsed times quickly as a batch? I <i>could</i> have people go through them individually and make changes or just calculate the times, but it is about 120 transcriptions. I figured some time investigating ways to automate this might be worth it.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks for any help!</div>
