Morphology

transcribed = transcribe (transparent) = transcribe + ed

Regular past-participle/adjectival formation from the verb 'transcribe' meaning 'previously recorded or written down'.

Etymology

Transcribed comes from the Latin parts trans- ('across') and scribere ('to write') and is like the words script and scribe. So a transcribed message was 'written down' or copied earlier, which is why it is 'not live'.
