Working with long drafts and transcripts
Repurposing long-form work, keeping a consistent voice across pieces, and getting transcripts into a usable state.
The situation
An hour-long transcript or a long draft, and you want it reshaped for three different places without rewriting it three times.
What people use it for
- Turn a long transcript into an article, a newsletter and a set of posts
- Get a structural edit on a draft rather than line-level nitpicking
- Keep tone consistent by giving it your existing work as a reference
- Find the strongest sections of something long before you cut it down
Worth knowing first
Video and audio are not among the file types ChatGPT accepts. Get a transcript first, then upload that as text. Transcription tools are cheap and the text file goes through without any trouble.
