Transcription (service)

Transcription is when we take words that someone said and turn them into written words. Like when you tell a story and a grown-up writes down everything you said so that other people can read it later. Some people do this for a job and it's called transcription service. They use special tools and skills to listen carefully to audio or video recordings and type out what was said so that people can read it later. It's important for things like legal cases, medical research, or interviews because it helps people have a written record of what was said.
