You’re kind of right, in regards to the what and the who. In my case, transcribing is pretty much just writing down (or in my case typing down) what someone is saying. For example: writing down the dialogue of characters in a TV show, or the words of speakers in a debate.

My transcribing is for a lecturer in my University’s music department who has been interviewing key individuals of the 70s, 80s, 90s in regards to mixers, consoles, more how the music is manufactured and produced. It can be pretty mundane work, but I also hear some interesting information which I otherwise wouldn’t have come across had I not undertaken the work.

Having looked the word up on Google, transcribing the word does relate to arranging a piece of music for a different instrument, voice, or group. Which I didn’t beforehand — so you did well coming up with that!

Hope your finals go well!!
