<pre>
Time offset relative to the beginning of the audio,
and corresponding to the start of the spoken word.
This field is only set if
[enable_word_time_offsets][google.cloud.speech.v2.RecognitionFeatures.enable_word_time_offsets]
is `true` and only in the top hypothesis. This is an experimental feature
and the accuracy of the time offset can vary.
