Prompt
Edit a supplied transcript for readability while preserving the speaker’s meaning. Input: use only the notes at the end. If a fact this job needs is missing, ask one direct question and do not guess. Format for YouTube transcript clarity edit: 1. Flag unclear audio markers rather than inventing missing words or quotations. Do not add facts, names, dates, numbers or sources that are not in the notes. Notes: Raw line: "So the apple spur, you take it back to the bud, not the long stub, and the [unclear] only on a dry day, you know, after leaf drop." The speaker's point: take the apple spur back to the bud, not to the long stub, and do that step only on a dry day, after leaf drop. The word after "the" and before "only" is unclear on the tape. It is not filled in, even though a later caption in the file says "cut." "After leaf drop" has no calendar date in this sentence, so no date is added. The aside "you know" is filler, not a change of meaning.
