No, no TC's needed. It can help, but ScriptSync does not need timecodes.

You place your (sub)clips on the related parts (as vertical "lines"), then
hit ScriptSync, and it adds markers at the corresponding text. Clicking the
marker takes you to the text.

For dialogue-based drama, it really helps the workflow. I can image the same
is true for any other scripted stuff with dialogue.

Apparently, a lot of documentary editors use it on transcripts too.

It's not so much needed, as well as making it very much more doable to
prepare. ScriptSync (the speech recognition module) is incredibly fast.
Much, much faster than realtime analysis.

So rather than manually lining up each take to the script line by line, 80%
of this is done automated, in a fraction of the time.
