Summary
ASR often writes times and numbers in awkward spoken form that hurts readability.
Motivation / evidence
Examples from cleaned transcripts:
seven point zero AM
6 07 a.m.
- similar patterns for versions, money, and counts
Proposal
Extend cleanup (or a dedicated normalization pass) to convert common spoken times/numbers into conventional written form, behind --cleanup or a more specific flag.
Out of scope
Full numeric NLP for every locale; changing timed segment text unless we decide on a parallel normalized field.
Acceptance criteria
