## The prompt

Fill in the parts in [square brackets], or leave them and the AI will ask you for them.

```text
These are scanned pages of my handwritten notes from [WHAT THE NOTES ARE, e.g. a two-day leadership workshop]. Type them up accurately, keeping my meaning. Then organize them into a clean document with headings, short bullet points and any lists or steps I wrote down. Pull every action item into its own checklist at the top. Where you can't read a word, write (unclear) instead of guessing, and list those spots at the end so I can check them. Don't add ideas that aren't in my notes.
```

1. Open the camera in the ChatGPT iPhone app, tap the three-dot menu and select Scan.
