Revision for the times you are not at a desk.
Your own notes, turned into a spoken explanation. Pick how deep it goes and how long it runs, then listen on the walk, the bus or the way to training.
On every plan. Free covers 2 a month, Plus 20, Max 75.
How it works
Choose the material
A lesson, a study pack, a PDF or notes you have uploaded. It builds the overview from your content, not a generic summary of the topic.
Set depth and length
A quick pass to keep a topic warm, or a proper walk through it. You decide how much detail and roughly how long.
Listen anywhere
It plays in the app, and it is built to be followed without a page in front of you.
What makes it different
Writing and speech are not the same medium, and most study material is written. A paragraph with three subclauses is fine on a page, where you can go back a line, and nearly impossible to follow through headphones. An overview is rewritten for the ear: shorter sentences, the point first, signposts where the topic turns.
The honest case for it is the time it uses. It does not replace sitting down with the material, and it will not get you through an exam on its own. What it does is take the walk to school or the trip to training, which was never going to be study time, and make it a second pass over something you have already met.
It is built from your material, which is what stops it being a podcast about the topic in general. If your class covered one interpretation and skipped another, the overview follows your notes rather than the internet's average take on the subject.
Common questions
Is this just text-to-speech reading my notes aloud?
No. An overview is rewritten to be listened to, which is a different shape from something written to be read. It explains rather than recites, because a spoken paragraph full of subclauses is impossible to follow without a page in front of you.
Can I choose how long it is?
Yes. You set how deep it goes and roughly how long it runs, so you can have a quick pass over a topic or a proper walk through it.
What is the difference between this and listen mode?
Listen mode narrates a lesson you are working through. An audio overview is a standalone piece built from your material, meant for the times you are not at a desk at all.
How many do I get?
Free covers 2 a month. Plus lifts it to 20 and Max to 75.
Does it help if I am not an auditory learner?
Often, yes. Meeting a topic a second time in a different form is useful regardless of your profile, and the commute is time you were not going to spend studying anyway.
