Transcription is the synthesis of RNA from a DNA template where the code in the DNA is converted into a complementary RNA code. Translation is the synthesis of a protein from an mRNA template where the code in the mRNA is converted into an amino acid sequence in a protein.

The answer is that transcription is the act or process of transcribing while transcript is something which has been transcribed; a writing or composition consisting of the same words as the original; a written copy.
