Detailed Solution

The given statement is True.
A scribe is a person who acts as a professional copyist, especially someone who copied manuscripts before the invention of automatic printing. Letter writing, once common in all cultures, lost much of its importance and status with the advent of the printing press. The scribe's work may involve transcribing manuscripts and other documents and administrative and secretarial duties such as dictation and maintaining the business, judicial and historical records for kings, nobles, temples, and cities. Careers developed into civil servants, journalists, accountants, bookkeepers, typists, and lawyers. In societies with low literacy rates, one can still find writers (and readers) around offering note-taking services.
