Meaning

A transcript is a text representation of recorded content, usually read independently of a timed caption display.

A practical example

A transcript can help a reader search an interview, but a copy made from subtitles may omit meaningful visual or sound information.

What to check

Removing timestamps does not verify the words. Compare uncertain passages with the recording and decide which speaker and sound labels are needed.

For a related planning or text task, open the srt vtt converter. The tool has its own limits; its result is not a measurement or approval of every concept described here.
