Transcripts and Scripts

A transcript is a text representation of pre-existing media in another form, - for example the dialogue in a video. - A script is a text representation of the intended content of media prior to its creation, - for example to guide an actor in recording an audio track. - Within this specification the term DAPT script is used generically to refer to both transcripts and scripts. +

In dubbing workflows, a transcript is generated and translated to create a script. In audio description workflows, a transcript describes the video image, and is then used directly as a script for recording an audio equivalent. @@ -264,17 +272,17 @@
