Turn a voice memo transcript into a clean document

Convert a rambling spoken transcript into a structured doc, keeping your ideas and voice while removing the noise.

Change note: Initial version

Prompt

Below is a raw transcript of a voice memo I recorded. Turn it into a {{doc_type}}.

Transcript:
{{transcript}}

Audience: {{audience}}
Voice: {{voice}}
Target length: about {{length}} words

Rules:
- Keep my ideas, examples and opinions. Remove filler words, false starts, repetition and tangents unrelated to the main point.
- Reorder content into a logical structure, with headings if the length warrants them.
- Do not add facts, statistics or claims I did not say. If something seems missing or unclear, mark it [CHECK: reason] inline.
- Fix obvious transcription errors only where the meaning is clear.
- Preserve numbers, names and dates exactly as spoken.

Output the document first. Then add "Loose ends": a short list of things I mentioned but did not finish, and 2 questions that would strengthen the piece.

  Default: so um I was thinking about our onboarding, like new customers keep dropping off after the first week, I think its because we never tell them what to do after they sign up, we send one welcome email and that's it. Sarah said maybe a checklist inside the app. I also think we should call the top 20 accounts, thats like, maybe a day of work. Oh and the pricing page needs fixing but that's separate.

Example output

**Onboarding: Reducing First-Week Drop-Off**

**The problem**
New customers are dropping off after their first week. I believe the cause is that we give them no guidance after sign-up: today they receive a single welcome email and nothing more. [CHECK: drop-off rate not stated]

**What I propose**
1. **In-app checklist.** Sarah suggested a checklist inside the product that walks new users through their first key actions.
2. **Personal outreach.** Call our top 20 accounts directly. I estimate this takes about one day of work.

**Why this should work**
Customers who know what to do next are more likely to reach value before they lose interest.

**Out of scope for now**
The pricing page needs fixing, but that is a separate project.

**Loose ends**
- Which actions should the checklist include?
- How is "top 20 accounts" defined?

**Questions to strengthen this piece**
1. What is the current week-one drop-off percentage?
2. What does a successful first week look like?

Notes

The [CHECK] marker keeps the model from filling gaps with plausible-sounding inventions. Paste transcripts straight from your dictation tool without cleaning them first.
