Transcription is simply listening to audio and video and typing it up in a clean, easy-to-ready format.
What gets transcribed? Meeting minutes. Webinars. Interviews. Lectures. More!
Why would you want to have these things transcribed? A typed transcript allows you to have all the information captured in one document that can be useful for content review later on. Perhaps you're a PhD candidate and you're doing a lot of interviews. Now go back and try to find a snippet of what someone said in 60 hours of recording. It's not too easy, is it? But if it was in a document, you'd just need to search for it and you'd find it immediately.
