Morphology

transcriptionally = transcriptional (semi-transparent) = transcript + ion + al + ly

The adverbial form is clearly derived from the adjective 'transcriptional'.

Etymology

Transcriptionally comes from trans- 'across' and scribere 'to write', like in transcript or script. So working transcriptionally with audio means turning spoken words 'across' into written text, which is why we use the word for making transcripts.
