Transcription (linguistics)

Transcription is the conversion into written, typewritten or printed form, of a written source—such as the 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica articles of which are transcribed into the Wikipedia—or spoken language source, such as the proceedings of a court hearing.

In the latter case, transcription is the process of matching the sounds of human speech to written symbols using a set of standard rules, so that these sounds can be reproduced later. Usually these rules are organized on a phonetic basis and are specifically constructed in order to be maximally simple. Standard transcription schemes include the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), and its ASCII equivalent, SAMPA. One can see numerous examples of transcription on the Common phrases in different languages page (in this particular case, using the standard English spelling rules). See also phonetic transcription
