tidskodede

Tidskodede is a term that appears in some Swedish-language discussions to describe data or media that include time codes. The word is formed from tidskoda, meaning to time-code, with the suffix -ede that can indicate past tense or a past participle form in informal usage. In standard Swedish, however, the more common forms are tidskodad for singular and tidskodade for plural, and tidskodede is not widely established in formal dictionaries. It may occur as a nonstandard spelling variation or in casual writing.

In practice, tidskodade materials are those that embed time stamps or time codes to mark precise points in time. This is important for synchronization across video, audio, captions, transcripts, and metadata. Time codes, such as SMPTE or other broadcast standards, provide a reference that makes editing, logging, and archival retrieval more efficient. The concept is widely used in film and television production, digital archiving, and research contexts where exact alignment between media and text or annotations is required.

Related terms include tidskodad and tidskodade, as well as broader concepts like time code, metadata, and synchronization. In Swedish technical literature, the preference tends to be for tidskodad/tidskodade, with tidskodede seen mainly as an informal or decorative variant. While tidskodede conveys the sense of time-coded material, its acceptance varies by publication and audience.
