Transcript Reflow

Overview

Rewrite transcript text into clear, grammatically correct English with sensible sentences and paragraphs while preserving meaning and stage directions.

Workflow

1. Read the full transcript

Scan the entire file to understand topic flow, speaker intent, and where paragraphs should naturally break.

2. Reflow and rewrite

• Merge broken line fragments into full sentences.
• Normalize punctuation, capitalization, and spacing.
• Break long run-ons into readable sentences.
• Keep stage directions or cues in parentheses on their own lines.
• Keep the voice conversational; do not summarize or remove content.

3. Output rules

• Save the cleaned version to a new file with a clear name (e.g., *_new.txt).
• Keep ASCII-only text unless the source already contains non-ASCII.
• Preserve important proper nouns, model names, and product terms.

4. Quick self-check

• Read through to ensure paragraph transitions are smooth.
• Confirm no content was dropped or added.
