Transcription
Transcription is the act of turning a recorded audio or video file into a written record. It's the archival cousin of dictation: same raw material (spoken words), different goal (a preserved text version).

Why it matters
How this relates to Zahvox
Zahvox is not a transcription service. It doesn't take an uploaded audio file and hand you back a document. Zahvox is a live voice-to-writing editor: you speak now, you get an editable transcript now, and you paste it where you need it.
Status: General industry concept, not tied to a specific Zahvox release. Bulk transcription of uploaded audio is not on the Zahvox roadmap.
Example
A journalist records a 45-minute interview and sends it to a transcription service (or uses an AI tool) to get the full text back. That's transcription. A founder speaks a 90-second thought into Zahvox and turns it into a client email. That's voice-to-writing.
