These are the terms:

transcribe

conform
timing
standalone QA
transcribe full QA
translate full QA
conform full QA

timing - time-coding Dec 15, 2013

Hi Fredrik,
I would leave the word timing as either timing or time-coding, which is more common in subtitling terms.

For the rest of the terms you can view my lecture about the subtitling process:

Time-coding has a correspondent in Swedish Dec 15, 2013

Hi Zehavit,

Time-coding would work, the correspondent Swedish term is Tidskodning.

Hi Zehavit,

Time-coding would work, the correspondent Swedish term is Tidskodning.

Thanks for the excellent instruction material about subtitling. Was very helpful for me.

For the term Conform, I found this website where Conform seems to be a concept that should be left untranslated (as there are several types of Conform, so to paraphrase it would take up too much space):

The only term I can not find anything about is Spot. Do they mean something performed on-the-spot? Or do they mean to make QA on a small selection? ▲ Collapse

'Synonyms: timing, cueing. Formerly, a mechanical procedure carried out
indepen­dently of the content and nuances of the dialogue by technicians (repérage). Now used to describe the process of defining the in and out times of individual subtitles.'
