### Task brief or prompt

Task brief: transcribe the recording in its original language. Preserve the meaning of what is said; mark unclear passages separately and check them against the audio. Verify names, numbers and titles manually.

### How to check the result

- Listen to passages containing numbers and names.

- Mark omissions and unclear passages; do not fill them in by guessing.
