AI podcast generator for studying: your notes, taught back to you

From notes to an episode

The studio takes a topic line, pasted text, a link or a file. For studying you use pasted text, or upload the PDF or Word file of your notes or a reading. The pipeline treats your text as the material the episode is built from. It researches around it to fill gaps and check facts, then writes a script that follows your notes rather than a generic summary of the subject. If your notes cover three theorems, the episode covers those three theorems.

Scripts are written for the ear, with pacing and transitions rather than bullet points read aloud, and the episode gets chapter markers so you can jump back to the part you keep getting wrong.

A study podcast routine that works

Make one episode per lecture, the same day, from your own notes rather than the slides: your notes hold what the lecturer stressed. Listen once on the way home and once before the next lecture. Before the exam, put a week’s notes into one longer episode and use it as revision. Turning notes into a podcast takes a few minutes, so the habit is cheap to keep.

Use source material you trust. The pipeline researches around your notes to fill gaps, but your text leads, so a mistake in the notes can end up in the episode. Like any AI tools for studying, it is a way to hear the material again, not a replacement for reading it.

Pick the style that matches how you learn

• Study: one tutor works through your notes in their order. Each concept ends with a check question, a pause and the answer, and the episode closes with a five-question recap quiz. With 300 words or more of your own material, it sticks to your notes: names and figures that are not in them are taken out. Best for revision.
• Educational: a teacher and a learner, step by step. The learner asks the question you would ask. Best for anything with method in it: maths, chemistry, law, code.
• Documentary: one narrator with expert voices. Best for history, literature, case studies, anything where the story carries the facts.
• Interview: an interviewer pressing an expert. Good for oral-exam practice, because you hear the questions before you hear the answers.

How long

Short is about 10 min and costs 1 credit; that is one lecture. Standard is about 30 min for 3 credits; a week’s material. Deep Dive is about 60 min for 6 credits and can carry a whole module before the exam. A new account starts with 5 credits and gets 3 more every month, enough for a few lecture recaps. See pricing.

Good to know

• 70 languages. Paste notes in one language and have the episode in another if you study in a second language.
• The transcript is downloadable and searchable, so the episode doubles as a cleaned-up set of notes.
• Set the visibility to Private when you create it and the episode is yours alone. The studio defaults to Public, which lists the episode in Discover.
• Generated audio can contain mistakes. Check anything you will be graded on against the source; the editorial policy explains what is and is not reviewed by a person.

Questions students ask

Can I turn my notes into a podcast for free?

Yes, within the free credits. A new account starts with 5 credits and gets 3 more every month, and a Short episode costs 1 credit.

What kind of notes work?

Typed lecture notes, a textbook chapter or a lab manual pasted as text (up to 20,000 characters), a PDF or Word file up to 20 MB, or a link to a public article. The notes need to be text: a scanned PDF without selectable text has nothing to read.

How long does it take?

A few minutes for a Short episode. You can close the tab while it is made; the episode is waiting in your library when you come back.

Can I keep my study podcast private?

Yes. Choose Private when you create it and only you can play it. Public episodes are listed in Discover.
