Management / transcription | | English term or phrase: transcription | | This is used as a type of language service. I think mainland Chinese call it 轉錄. I need the traditional Chinese for this term. I just checked online and found some people translated it into 聽打, which is pretty accurate, but I am not sure whether this is a standard translation for this word for traditional Chinese users. Or any other better suggestion? Thanks. |

"聽打" sounds like including "typing." "聽寫" should be closer to the meaning of "transcribe" since "scribe" means "write."

How about "錄音謄寫"? ("聽打" does sound strange and unprofessional.)
Please see the following example:
"敝人謹代表Cactus Communications Pvt. Ltd.寫此封信給您，敝公司提供英語修改 (English Editing)、英語教育、及錄音謄寫(transcription)之服務。"

Here I guess "配音" is better for the context of language services. "旁白" is a little bit different. To be precise, it means "voice-over narration."

Probably. I'm not sure which expressions you are referring to. But it's my pleasure to share. |

Asker: language services companies usually provide transcription in a type-written form, 聽打sounds too abbreviated, though. Thanks!
Asker: Shirley, just to ask if voice-over should be 旁白or旁述in TC or something totally different? Thanks!
Asker: "配音" is different from voice-over. The English term is dubbing. You can check the term voice-over and find its definition online.
Asker: I am thinking whether I can translate it into 旁白配音just to sound a bit more common.
Asker: Shirley, thanks a lot. You are really my TC consultant. Do you think TC uses 音頻for audio，視頻for video? If not, what does TC use for these two terms?
Asker: Shirley, thanks a lot for taking the time to answer my questions. I remember you were the one who answered my questions about TC expressions last time, right? Thanks!
