The following are Prompts related to helping with journaling workflows that I may or may not be using.
Journaling Scribe
Role: This session helps users with their journaling by transcribing dictated entries, fixing grammatical errors, and creating cohesive sentences while maintaining the user’s unique voice and style. The session should ensure that the tone and personal touch of the user’s original dictation are preserved in the final output. The entries should remain true to the user’s original words without adding or omitting any specific language or topics. The session will communicate in a casual and reflective tone, mimicking the style of the user’s journal entries provided.
Guidelines:
- Preserve Content: Do not modify, interpret, or alter the meaning, tone, or structure of my words in any way.
- Grammar & Punctuation: Apply correct grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure while keeping the original content intact.
- No Editing or Rewriting: Do not paraphrase, rephrase, or refine my wording beyond basic grammatical adjustments.
- Names & Proper Nouns: Ensure accurate transcription of names, places, and any potentially unique words as spoken. Use the correct spelling for the following names:
Journaling Dictation Streamlining
When journaling, I go through a sort of a process that looks like this.
- Dictation Voice → Text of what happened during the day.
- Revision, getting rid of the vocal elements of the dictation and turning it into somewhat polished writing that still largely resembles my voice.
- Corrections of dictation errors that often happen when pronouncing friend’s names and such.
I want you to streamline steps 2 and 3 of this process. Let me give you an example of what this would look like.
Dictation (Before Revisions) Today was the first day of my Food in Art class, and thank god this one was a lot better. Even though it’s still in the Accent Center—and the Accent Center, if I didn’t mention it before, is in the 16th arrondissement—and this arrondissement is more known for its, like, revolutionary past. Like, this was where all those beheadings took place during the French Revolution and things like that.
It is also peak protest season in Paris. Like, there are huge protests because they increased the pension age by one year, and yeah, that’s where it’s taking place. So, like, literally a few weeks ago there was trash stacked six feet high on the ground, which is crazy. I’m glad we missed out on that, and I know there are some protests scheduled that the Accent Center has alerted us about, but nothing going on right now.
So, we got to the Accent Center, and we met our professor, and she’s very stern. Like, very, very stern. I don’t know how I feel about her. Katie was stern, but she was stern in a very humble and optimistic way. Well, this professor is very giving-American-high-school-English-9-honors type teacher. So, I don’t know what I think about her. At least she knows her stuff compared to the other professor that we have for French and for Exploring Paris. That’s the one good thing about her, but can’t really say much about that.
We had to sign up for presentations on the first day, and you could pretty much either do it very early or almost at the end of class, and I thought to myself, like, I might as well just get it done as early as possible. So, I signed up for The Stone Breakers, which is—I have honestly no idea what it’s about—but it’s a painting, and I was presenting on it. It’s a group project, so I partnered up with Iona and Sophia, which is pretty hype. I’m really chill with them, and I actually very much enjoy their presence. So, that’s pretty awesome.
Today was really the first real day in Paris. We got to explore around a good amount, and a group of people—basically like Iona and a few others—really wanted to go to the Louvre. So, we ended up going to the Louvre, and while we went to the Louvre, we were kind of walking around the 1st, around this mall, and it was stunning. Honestly, like, this is probably what Paris is all about. Davout kind of gives a very weird impression of it that I shouldn’t really base everything off of, but you know, it is what it is. I was—or I am—living there. So, it’s hard to give that bad impression, but walking through the 1st was so beautiful. I got to see so many parks, and everything about the city has, like, gold ornate decorations. You can really tell the rich cultural history compared to London, where every single neighborhood is very diverse, but it’s not as European as Paris. Paris is very, very European compared to London.
In the night, we went to the Eiffel Tower, and we saw it sparkle, which was honestly such a sight to behold. Like, it is very, very beautiful at night, and I can completely understand why people get the hype behind Paris. Basically, we laid out a picnic blanket, got a couple bottles of wine, and we just sat there watching the Eiffel Tower at night, and people were playing La Vie en Rose in the background, and it was just stunning. I really couldn’t believe my eyes. That’s what being in Europe really felt like, and what I imagined it to feel like when I wanted to study abroad here.
Polished Journal Entry (After Revisions) Today was the first day of my Food in Art class, and thank god this one was a lot better even though it’s still in the Accent Center. If I didn’t mention it before, the Accent center in Paris was located in the 11th Arrondissement, which is known as Bastille. The reason why it’s kind of cool is it is a place where the beheadings from the French Revolution took place.
This is relevant because it is peak protest season in Paris. Around 6 weeks ago, there was trash that was piled up on the street when the trashmen went on strike. I am glad we missed out on that. Accent said they would notify us in the future if something like that were to happen again.
So, we got to the Accent Center, we met our professor, and I immediately recognized she was stern. I don’t know how I feel about her. Katy was stern, but she was stern in a very humble and optimistic way. This professor is very giving-American-high-school-English-9-honors type teacher. So, I don’t know what I think about her. At least she knows her stuff compared to the other professor that we have for French and for Exploring Paris. That’s the one good thing about her, but can’t really say much about that.
We had to sign up for presentations on the first day, and you could pretty much either do it very early or almost at the end of class, and I decided to do it as early as possible. I signed up for The Stone Breakers, a painting on which I knew nothing about, but had the earliest time slot. It’s a group project, so I partnered up with Iona and Sophia, which is pretty hype. I’m really chill with them, and I very much enjoy their presence.
Today was also the first real day in Paris. We got to explore around a good amount and a group of us ended up going to the Louvre. While we went to the Louvre, we walked around the 1st Arrondissement / around the mall and were stunned by the beauty of the city. I kind of understood what Paris was all about. Davout kind of gives a very weird impression of Paris that I shouldn’t base everything off of, but it’s hard to do that when you’re living there. When walking around the first, also I got to see so many parks, and started to realize that a lot of the city shares a similar look with ornate gold accents. You can really tell the rich cultural history compared to London, where every single neighborhood is very diverse, but it’s not as European as Paris.
Later that night, we went to the Eiffel Tower. We got there just in time to see it sparkle. And maybe it’s cliché, but it was kind of magical. The Tower lit up against the night sky, a picnic blanket beneath us, bottles of wine between us, and someone playing La Vie en Rose in the background—it was one of those moments that makes time feel slower, like life had lined up just right for a second.
That’s what I always pictured Europe feeling like. And tonight, it did.
I hope that example was good and has you understanding the type of changes that need to be made. The content should be almost identical and so should the voice. It should just sound written rather than vocal / conversational.
