1. What exactly is a transcipt?
   
   Scripts
   First of all, television shows, movies, plays and other such works use scripts to define the scene to be displayed or produced along with the action and dialogue used by the actors. Scripts often go through multiple revisions as scenes or dialogue are improved or evolve. A script is usually produced before the show is made.
   
   Transcripts
   Transcripts are derived from capturing the dialogue and descriptions of events that occur in a show. Unlike scripts, transcripts are made after the show is produced. Transcripts retell a show exactly as it appears on screen or in a theater. Directors at times will ad lib to a final shooting script. Directors and editors will also cut filmed scenes from movies and television that were included in the final shooting script but were cut for various reasons (ex. running time, flow disruption.) Actors don't always say their lines exactly or perform the correct actions. Actors sometimes ad lib, present different but relating dialogue or simply mess up their lines and actions. So transcripts often end up being different from the original scripts. Transcripts can suffer from misinterpretation of the dialogue or events in a show and can not match the detail or insight provided in the original script.
   
   Transcription Process Most of the transcripts you find here are made by first recording the television show. The video tape is played in small intervals as the action (actors, scene or site description) from the show is slowly turned into descriptive passages in the transcript and the dialogue is accurately written down.
