Transcription

Transcription is the conversion into written, typewritten or printed form, of a spoken language source, such as the proceedings of a court hearing. It can also mean the conversion of a written source into another medium, such as scanning books and making digital versions. A transcriptionist is a person who performs transcription.

Je ne crois pas que tu m’eusses chargé de commission pour tes cousins, en tout cas je n’en ai pas fait ! mais je leur ai beaucoup parlé de toi.
Comment vont tes leçons de chant? Maître Moreau était plutôt content de toi. En es-tu toujours au beau “papagayo” ou as-tu abordé une autre romance. Je me réjouis bien de constater tes progrès lorsque nous nous reverrons.

Chère soeur,
Les habitudes voudraient que je te félicitasse du mariage de Germain. Je serai plus disposé puisque je connais bien le fiancé à le féliciter de l’excellente petite femme qu’il va avoir. Il fera bien des jaloux. Si les hommes ont du goût lui , en a eu.
