Transcription is the process of converting spoken or recorded speech into written text. It is often used to transcribe audio or video recordings of meetings, interviews, speeches, and other events. The transcription process typically involves listening to the recording and typing out what is being said word for word.
Transcription is useful for creating written records of events, for creating closed captions for videos, for creating written transcriptions of podcasts, for creating subtitles for foreign language films, and for other purposes.
