What does “transcript” mean?

transcript


Oh, this is a useful one!

A "transcript" is a written record of something that was spoken or said out loud. Like, someone takes all the words from a conversation, a video, or a class — and writes them all down exactly.

So if you watch a long interview on YouTube and someone types out every single word that was said, that's a transcript. Or if you finish university, your school gives you an official paper showing all your classes and grades — that's also called a transcript!

Like: "I need my transcript to apply for this job" or "Do you have a transcript of that podcast? I can't listen right now."

So basically, a transcript is a written copy of spoken words — or an official record of your academic history.
