I am working as a video editor for my client and I understand the first
sentence, but I am having difficulty understanding the phrase 文字起こし, what does
it mean in this context?




It means "transcription" (convert speech into a written document.) It is also
called テープ起こし (from the olden days when audio was mainly recorded on tapes).
It can be a word-to-word, or involve some editing.
