Summary Notes FAQ
Can I edit the AI summary?
Yes. Edit any part in the rich text editor, or regenerate the whole note.
Does it support multiple languages?
Yes when your transcript or content is in that language.
Will regenerating erase my edits?
Regenerate replaces the current AI-generated note, including any edits you made to it. Your original source stays unchanged, and you’re asked to confirm first.
Which sources can I summarize?
Recordings, audio files (MP3, WAV, AAC, OGG, M4A), documents (PDF, DOC, DOCX), images of handwritten notes or slides, typed text, and web or YouTube links.
Can I summarize several notes at once?
Yes. Put them in one notebook and choose Summarize this notebook to create a single Notebook Summary.
Can I listen to the summary?
Yes. On the Note tab, choose Generate audio for a one-voice narration of the note; it usually takes less than a minute. For a two-host conversation, use the Podcast tab.
