Definition: The act or process of transcribing.

Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look! You’ve got the dictionary – excellent work, that’s true! It tells us “transcription” is "the act or process of transcribing," but what does that really mean? Let's break it down with a little rhyme: Transcription means to turn spoken sound, Into written words, all around. Think about it like this: Someone might speak into a microphone, and then a recorder captures their voice. Transcription is the job of writing exactly what was said – word for word - down on paper or a computer screen. It’s used in lots of places! Podcasts: Turning spoken words to text for show notes. Interviews: Capturing everything that's been said. Meetings: Recording important discussions for later review. Essentially, it's about faithfully copying something audible into a written form. Do you have any questions about that? Would you like me to give you another example, perhaps with a short sentence?
