Transcript Polisher

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

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

• Processing raw podcast transcripts from automated services (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

Not for: Written content that wasn't originally spoken, pre-polished articles, or scripts that are already edited.

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.
