Turn Your Class Notes Into a Weekly Audio Recap

Paste or upload your notes, then choose a style, target length, and language. Scholarly creates a conversation between a host, an expert guest, and a producer that explains your definitions, examples, and links between lectures. Each episode includes a synced transcript and listening check-in questions. Runtime varies. Combine one week of notes into a useful course recap.

Yes. Scholarly podcasts are cited: each episode lists the sources it was built from in its Sources tab. For a notes episode that is the notes you added, plus any slides or chapters you combined with them, so you can go back to the original and check anything that sounds off.

Yes. Paste typed text straight in, upload a document, or add several files at once. Notes exported from Google Docs, Notion, OneNote, or any plain-text editor all work.

Yes, upload photos of your notebook pages and Scholarly reads them as a source, as long as the handwriting is reasonably legible. Typed notes still give the most reliable results, especially for formulas and unusual terminology.

English episodes are voiced from a catalogue of 10 voices, and episodes in other languages from a catalogue of 30 multilingual voices. You can pick the guest's voice or let Scholarly choose; the host and producer are cast from the same catalogue, and each speaker is named after its voice. The language picker offers 71 output languages and regional variants, and the episode does not have to be in the same language as the source.

Yes, and that is the recommended weekly workflow: combine the week's notes for one course into a single recap episode. You can also add the lecture slides or a textbook chapter alongside your notes so the episode fills in context around what you wrote.

Free episodes are about 2 minutes. On Premium and Laureate you set a target from 5 to 60 minutes in 5-minute steps, with 15 minutes as the default; the target guides the script, so the final runtime can vary. A target over 15 minutes costs 1 extra AI Creation Credit, and over 30 minutes 2 extra.

Yes, on a paid plan. Premium and Laureate can download the MP3, or an MP4 of the chapter-slide video. Every plan, including Free, gets a synced transcript, captions, streaming, and link sharing.

Both turn your sources into an AI conversation. Gemini Notebook (formerly NotebookLM) Audio Overviews use two hosts (one speaker in the Brief format), offer Deep Dive, Brief, Critique, and Debate formats in 80+ languages with Shorter, Default, and Longer lengths (Longer is English only), include an English voice join-in mode, and let you download the audio. Scholarly uses a host, an expert guest, and a producer, lets you pick the guest's voice, sets a paid target length up to 60 minutes, and adds chapters, a searchable transcript, timestamped Producer Notes with researched links, and a chapter-slide video. Scholarly episodes are cited: each one lists the sources it was built from in its Sources tab. Scholarly downloads need a paid plan, and its language picker has 71 options.

Yes, to start. The Free plan includes one lifetime AI Creation Credit shared across Scholarly. Spent on a podcast, it makes one episode of about 2 minutes from one source (uploads up to 8 MB, the first 32 PDF pages), which you can stream and share by link. The credit does not reset, and downloads need a paid plan. Premium ($30/mo or $180/yr in the US) includes 15 AI Creation Credits each week. No credit card is required to start.
