transcriptions

Copied spoken words

Transcriptions are written or printed representations of something originally in another form.

Most commonly, a transcription converts spoken words into text: court reporters produce transcriptions of legal proceedings, and researchers transcribe interviews for analysis.

In music, a transcription adapts a composition for different instruments than originally intended.

The term also applies in biology, where transcription is the process by which genetic information in DNA is copied to RNA.
