Transcript Polisher

Transform raw podcast or interview transcripts into polished, professional documents that maintain authentic voice while dramatically improving readability.

Purpose

Raw transcripts from automated services are often unreadable - filled with filler words, incomplete sentences, and poor formatting. This skill cleans them up while preserving what was actually said.

Core Philosophy: Balance authenticity with clarity. Remove everything that doesn't add meaning while preserving what was actually said. Create the "ideal version" of what the speaker wanted to communicate - without changing their words or ideas.

Target: 25-35% length reduction while maintaining 100% fidelity to meaning.

When to Use This Skill

• Processing raw transcripts from Rev, Otter, Descript, YouTube auto-captions
• Cleaning up interview recordings or video transcripts
• Preparing spoken content for publication as articles or show notes
• Converting conversational content into readable written format
