Wordpress Action Upon Edit Post Load

I am running a function whenever a Post is Updated by using add_action('save_post', 'transcription');

I am trying to have the function also run whenever the Edit Post is loaded (before it is Updated or Saved), however when I add:

add_action('post.php', 'transcription');

Nothing Happens.

Any ideas?

Come to find out that when you do an add-action on load-post.php (the correct action for when you want to edit the individual post), it does not pass the post_id. Since my transcription module was dependent on getting the post ID, it was as simple as run $_GET['post'] and assigning it to the post_id variable transcription required

add_action( 'load-post.php', 'transcription' );
function transcription($post_id)  {
//Transcription Status 0 = Not Transcribed but uploaded, 1=Submitted for Transcription, 2=Transcribed 3=Transcribed and Addd to Post
    $post_id = $_GET[ 'post' ];
//Do whatever with transcription
}

This turns out to be the solution.

Try this one:

add_action( 'load-edit.php', 'post_listing_page' );
function post_listing_page() {
    //this is the wp-admin edit.php post listing page!
}

in your case: 

add_action( 'load-edit.php', 'transcription' );
