01
Add your episode
Drag in a podcast episode — an audio file like MP3 or M4A, or a video podcast in MP4, MOV, WebM, or MKV. The file is read locally; nothing is uploaded yet.
Podcast episode → summary
Get a podcast summary with the key takeaways and a timeline.
For listeners and creators who want the takeaways from an episode without sitting through the whole thing.
A podcast summary turns an episode recording into the key takeaways, the topics covered, and a timeline you can read or download as Markdown or plain text — plus the full podcast transcript. Drop an episode to summarize a podcast in seconds: the audio is extracted in your browser and only the audio is sent for transcription, so the original file is never uploaded as a whole.
- Key takeaways
- The episode in a few points.
- Full transcript
- Searchable text of the episode.

How it works
Three steps from an episode to a summary.
02
Transcribe and summarize
We extract the audio in your browser, transcribe the episode to text, then use AI to pull out the key takeaways, the topics and guests covered, and a timeline.
03
Read, copy, or download
Review the podcast summary on the page, copy it into your show notes or notes app, or download the summary as Markdown and the full transcript as a text file.
Why use it
Get the episode's value in minutes.
Skim the key takeaways before deciding whether an episode is worth a full listen.
Use the timeline to jump straight to the segment or guest you came for.
Creators can turn the transcript and summary into show notes you own and publish.
More note types
Notes for meetings, lectures, and any video.
Recording something other than a podcast? Turn a call into meeting notes from video, turn a class into lecture notes from video, or make general notes from any video. Only need the sound? Extract the audio as MP3, M4A, or WAV.
Make notes from any videoFAQ
Podcast summary questions
How do I get a podcast summary?
Drop a podcast episode recording onto the box on this page or choose a file. The audio is extracted in your browser and transcribed, then AI turns the podcast into notes — a podcast summary with the key takeaways, topics covered, and a timeline — that you can read on the page or download as Markdown or plain text. No sign-up is needed.
Is my podcast file uploaded to a server?
The original file stays in your browser. We extract a small compressed audio track locally and send only that audio to generate the transcript and summary — the original video or audio file is never uploaded as a whole.
What is in the podcast summary?
You get the full episode transcript plus a summary: the key takeaways, the topics and any guests covered, and a timeline so you can jump to the part of the episode you care about. Download the summary as Markdown (.md) and the transcript as plain text (.txt), or copy them.
Can I summarize a long episode or a YouTube podcast?
Common recordings work — audio files like MP3 and M4A, plus video files like MP4, MOV, WebM, and MKV for video podcasts. The website handles an episode of up to 10 minutes at a time; for a full-length episode or a YouTube podcast, use the Chrome extension, which summarizes longer videos and YouTube links right in your browser.
Is it free and is there a usage limit?
It is free with no sign-up. There is a small daily limit per device on summarizing an episode to keep the service available for everyone.
