transcribe •\tran(t)-ˈskrīb\• verb

The word transcribe has appeared in 33 New York Times articles in the past year, including on Aug. 29 in "Smoothing the Path From Foreign Lips to American Ears" by Richard Pérez-Peña:

They are foreign graduate students at Ohio University who are spending up to two hours a day learning how to speak so that their American colleagues and students will understand them. Many of them spend more than a year in the program, and they are not allowed to teach until their English instructors say they are ready.

… Students are assigned to practice in computer labs, using the speech analysis software, and — possibly the most unpopular exercise — recording audio or video of themselves speaking. They have to transcribe those recordings verbatim, with every pause, false start, repetition or "um" noted.
