# Timestamps

Timestamps help you to navigate in your transcription.

Timestamps can look like this: #03:45.2#. You can select them with or without the number signs.

Parlatype can produce different timestamp formats, they can be set in .

# Drag and drop

If you select the timestamp in the word processor, you can drag and drop it on the Parlatype window and it will go to that position. This is also possible the other way round: Drag the time label from Parlatype to a word processor and drop it there to insert it.

# Using the clipboard

Clicking on the menu button that is showing the current time you can Copy time to clipboard or Go to time in clipboard.

This can also be done with keyboard shortcuts. First make sure, the Parlatype window has focus. With the key sequence Ctrl c the current timestamp is copied to the clipboard. Changing to the word processor you can insert now the timestamp in your transcription.

To go to a timestamp position, copy the timestamp in the word processor to the clipboard. Once you have changed focus to Parlatype press Ctrl v.
