In the context of the National Archives Catalog shown in the image, a transcription is an exact, word-for-word, and character-for-character copy of the handwritten or typewritten text from the original document. 
Purpose of Transcriptions
Enhanced Searchability: Transcribing documents makes their content searchable online, as search engines can index the typed text.
Accessibility: It allows researchers and the public to read documents with difficult-to-decipher handwriting, faded text, or unique script styles, which improves access to historical information.
Preservation: By creating a digital text version, it reduces the need for physically handling the original paper document, helping to preserve it from damage. 
The phrase "1/1 have Transcriptions" indicates that for the single image or page presented in that record, a complete text transcription has been created and is available to view.
