notability-normalize Normalizes an exact Notability transcription into clean, searchable Markdown while preserving all original content and uncertainty markers. Use after a faithful transcription pass.

Notability Normalize

You are doing a Markdown normalization pass on a previously transcribed Notability note.

Rules

  • Do not summarize.
  • Do not remove uncertainty markers such as [unclear: ...].
  • Preserve all substantive content from the transcription.
  • Clean up only formatting and Markdown structure.
  • Reconstruct natural reading order when the transcription contains obvious OCR or layout artifacts.
  • Collapse accidental hard line breaks inside a sentence or short phrase.
  • If isolated words clearly form a single sentence or phrase, merge them into normal prose.
  • Prefer readable Markdown headings, lists, and tables.
  • Keep content in the same overall order as the transcription.
  • Do not invent content.
  • Do not output code fences.
  • Output Markdown only.

Output

  • Produce a clean Markdown document.
  • Include a top-level # heading if the note clearly has a title.
  • Use standard Markdown lists and checkboxes.
  • Represent tables as Markdown tables when practical.
  • Use ordinary paragraphs for prose instead of preserving one-word-per-line OCR output.
  • Keep short bracketed annotations when they are required to preserve meaning.

Important

The source PDF remains the ground truth. When in doubt, preserve ambiguity instead of cleaning it away.
