Transcription vs. Transcript — What's the Difference?

Conversion of DNA to RNA in cells.

The outcome of the transcription process.

Manual or automated writing of spoken content.

Official record of proceedings.

Process of converting audio into text.

Document verifying academic performance.

Representation of sounds or words in written form.

Textual representation of any audio or video content.

The act of transcribing.

Something transcribed, especially a written, typewritten, or printed copy

The act or process of transcribing.

A record of a student's academic performance issued by an institution of learning.

(Music) An adaptation of a composition.

(Biology) A sequence of RNA produced by transcription.

A recorded radio or television program.

Something which has been transcribed; a writing or composition consisting of the same words as the original; a written copy.

(Linguistics) A representation of speech sounds in phonetic symbols.

A copy of any kind; an imitation.

(Genetics) The synthesis of messenger RNA from a DNA template through the formation of base pairs, resulting in a transfer of genetic information that codes for amino acid sequences composing proteins.

A written version of what was said orally

The act or process of transcribing.

(genetics) A molecule of RNA produced by transcription

Something that has been transcribed, including:

(education) An inventory of the courses taken and grades earned of a student alleged throughout a course.

(music) An adaptation of a composition.

(rare) To write a transcript; to transcribe.

(broadcasting) A recorded radio or television programme.

That which has been transcribed; a writing or composition consisting of the same words as the original; a written copy.

(linguistics) A representation of speech sounds as phonetic symbols.

A copy of any kind; an imitation.

(obsolete) A written document.

A written version of what was said orally; as, a transcript of a trial.

(genetics) The synthesis of RNA under the direction of DNA.

Something that has been transcribed; a written record (usually typewritten) of dictated or recorded speech;

The act or process of transcribing, or copying; as, corruptions creep into books by repeated transcriptions.

A reproduction of a written record (e.g. of a legal or school record)

A copy; a transcript.

A written or printed record of spoken words.

An arrangement of a composition for some other instrument or voice than that for which it was originally written, as the translating of a song, a vocal or instrumental quartet, or even an orchestral work, into a piece for the piano; an adaptation; an arrangement; - a name applied by modern composers for the piano to a more or less fanciful and ornate reproduction on their own instrument of a song or other piece not originally intended for it; as, Liszt's transcriptions of songs by Schubert.

Something written, especially copied from one medium to another, as a typewritten version of dictation

(genetics) the organic process whereby the DNA sequence in a gene is copied into mRNA; the process whereby a base sequence of messenger RNA is synthesized on a template of complementary DNA

A sound or television recording (e.g., from a broadcast to a tape recording)

The act of arranging and adapting a piece of music

The act of making a record (especially an audio record);

Most educational institutions provide Transcripts upon request, often for a fee.

No, Transcription can be done manually by humans or automatically using software.

While commonly associated with speech, Transcription can also involve DNA to RNA conversion in biology.

Transcription involves converting spoken words or sounds into written form.

Transcription services are useful for converting lectures, interviews, or meetings into text for accessibility or reference.

A Transcript is a written record, often used for reference, verification, or academic purposes.

Yes, Transcription in music involves writing down a piece as it is played.

Typically, yes. The purpose of Transcription is to produce a Transcript, whether official or informal.

Court Transcripts are usually available from the court's clerk or records office.

Not always. While there are official Transcripts, like those from courts or schools, there are also informal Transcripts, like those for interviews.

It varies; educational Transcripts might take weeks, while a court Transcript could be available sooner.

While improving, automated Transcription may not always be as accurate as human transcription, especially in noisy environments.

It's important to research and choose reputable Transcription services for accuracy and confidentiality.

Yes, an official Transcript can serve as proof of academic achievements.

Yes. A diploma is a certificate of completion, while a Transcript lists courses taken and grades received.
