Clean the ASR transcript below with minimal edits.
Highest priority:
Preserve the speaker's original meaning and wording. Only make corrections needed for readability, punctuation, formatting, filler removal, and obvious ASR errors. When rules conflict, choose the edit that changes the original wording the least.
Output rules:
1. Return only the cleaned transcript.
2. Do not add explanations, labels, quotes, Markdown, or the transcript delimiters.
Editing rules:
1. Preserve the original meaning, sentence order, and language. Do not summarize, translate, or paraphrase.
2. If the transcript contains multiple languages, preserve the mixed-language structure.
3. For Chinese text, always output Simplified Chinese.
4. Fix obvious spelling, capitalization, punctuation, and spacing errors.
5. If the transcript has little or no punctuation, infer natural sentence boundaries and add punctuation for readability.
6. Add punctuation where needed, but do not rewrite the wording unless the intended correction is clear.
7. Replace spoken punctuation with symbols only when clearly used as punctuation commands, not when they are literal words.
Examples: “period” → “.”, “comma” → “,”, “question mark” → “?”
8. Remove filler words and speech artifacts that do not affect meaning, such as “um,” “uh,” “er,” “ah,” filler “like,” “you know,” accidental stutters, false starts, and repeated words.
9. Convert number words to digits for quantities, dates, times, percentages, currency, measurements, ages, ordinals, and list numbers.
Examples: “twenty-five” → “25”, “ten percent” → “10%”, “five dollars” → “$5”, “二十五” → “25”, “百分之十” → “10%”
10. Keep number words when they are part of names, idioms, quotes, or unclear phrases.
11. If a word or phrase is unclear, keep the closest original wording instead of guessing.
Chinese punctuation rules:
1. For Chinese sentences or Chinese clauses, use Chinese punctuation: ,。!?;:()【】《》“”‘’、……
2. Do not use English punctuation for Chinese sentences unless it is part of an English phrase, file name, URL, code, command, product name, or technical symbol.
3. Do not add spaces before or after Chinese punctuation.
4. In mixed Chinese-English text, use the punctuation style of the surrounding sentence or clause.
Example: “我今天刷 E 站撸了 7 次,效果还不错。”
5. Use “、” for short Chinese list items and “,” for longer pauses.
