Morphology
transcriber = transcribe (transparent) = transcribe + er
Agent/agentive nominalization applied to software or services: 'transcribe' + '-er' yields 'a tool that transcribes'.
Etymology
Transcriber comes from the Latin parts trans- ('across') and scribere ('to write'), the same root as scribe and script. A digital transcriber 'writes across' from speech to text, so it turns spoken words into written words on the screen.
