Sumario:The article focuses on the transcription between languages. It is stated that any alphabetic text that records language is a transcription of voices, whether or not an actual sound is involved in the process. It is mentioned that the human hearing is impaired by alphabetic literacy, which focuses their attention only on the sequences of phonemes, and not on other sounds. It is stated that this is the reason why words, phrases, and sentences can be reconstructed even in an alphabetic text without any spaces between words and punctuation. The sounds of spoken language also include changes in pitch.
