Code Interpreter and Transcription: An In-Depth Look
This time, we will dig deeper into the “code interpreter” and “transcription”. These themes may seem unrelated at first glance, but they are actually deeply related. Now let’s look at them one by one.
What is a code interpreter?
A code interpreter is a type of software that directly executes a program’s source code. This is in contrast to a compiler, which translates the source code into machine language once and then executes it. However, the interpreter reads the source code line by line and executes it each time. Languages such as Python and JavaScript are known as interpreted languages.
The advantage of the interpreter is that code changes are reflected immediately and debugging is easy. On the other hand, it has the disadvantage that execution speed is slower than compiler type languages. However, its slowness is less of an issue in the early stages of development, rather its flexibility facilitates trial and error.
Interpreted languages are also called scripting languages and are often used in shell scripting and web development. These languages are very useful for small tasks and short development times.

What is transcription?
Transcription refers to the work of converting audio and video content into text format. This is used in a variety of situations, such as creating meeting minutes and subtitling video content. Recently, with the advancement of AI technology, the number of software that automatically transcribes text has increased.
The benefits of transcription are that information is easier to find and share, and that information can be seen visually for better understanding. Transcription is especially useful when you want to check the content of a meeting or lecture later. In addition, by adding subtitles to video content, not only visual information but also auditory information can be obtained as text.
However, manual transcription is very time consuming. Therefore, the use of automatic transcription software using AI is increasing. These software use speech recognition technology to convert speech to text. Its accuracy is improving day by day, and has reached a level comparable to that of human transcription.

Link between code interpreter and transcription
Then why are “code interpreters” and “transcriptions” searched together? This is because there are situations where it is required to record (transcribe) the results of program execution in text format.
For example, in the process of debugging, you can record the results of your code execution in a text file, making it easier to see what happened later. Also, in the context of education, students sometimes submit execution results in text format to show the results of executing their own code to the teacher.
In such situations, the combination of code interpreter and transcription technology enables more efficient work. Specifically, the flow is to run the program with a code interpreter and convert the results into text with transcription software. This allows you to easily record the execution results of your program and check them later.
