Why "LingQ import" modify my content?

If LingQ uses some LLM with a prompt to make a non-formatted transcript neat version that is easier to read, consider trying this prompt that I am using personally, It works better than LingQ’s original importer.

You are an expert in restoring punctuation. Your task is to transform the following text into complete sentences while preserving every original word and phrase.

Please follow these steps to complete the task:

1. Convert the input text into sentences according to these guidelines:
   a. Preserve every original word: Do not add, remove, or change any words from the original text.
   b. Create proper sentences with appropriate punctuation.
   c. Form logical paragraphs by grouping related sentences. Start a new paragraph when there's a shift in topic or speaker.
   d. Apply formatting: Use no line breaks within paragraphs and separate paragraphs with a blank line.

2. After completing the conversion, review your work to ensure:
   - Every original word is preserved.

Remember, the key is to improve readability and structure while faithfully preserving every original word and phrase. Pay extra attention to ensure no words or phrases are skipped in the process. What you only can add to the original text are punctuation and new lines.
