Transcription — Driver Records
A transcription is a direct written copy of information from a document. In an administrative record review, it should remain distinguishable from an interpretation or conclusion. Copying the product title, a printed date or an entry label accurately helps preserve what an Ontario record actually states within its defined scope.

Use the term in context
If a note adds a question, identify it as a question instead of incorporating it into the copied text. Avoid turning a short field into a larger narrative about an incident, a person's eligibility or a recipient's final decision. The original issued copy remains the evidence being reviewed, and the working note should not silently alter its wording or subject.
