A transcript is a written record of spoken words. Transcripts are used in journalism, research, legal proceedings, education, and business to create a searchable, shareable record of conversations, interviews, and meetings.
What a transcript includes
The full text of everything spoken
Speaker identification — who said what
Timestamps — when each section was spoken
Punctuation and formatting for readability
Sometimes: filler words, pauses, and non-verbal sounds
