Explore Audio Summary [Experimental Feature]

Goodnotes 6 now supports generating summaries from transcripts of audio recordings. It's easy to learn what's being communicated in a long piece of recorded audio, and you can select a citation to jump to the moment in the recording. Summaries are easily shared and pasted into notes.

How to Use Audio Summary

Transcribe audio recording

To summarize an audio recording, you first need to transcribe the audio. You can learn how to transcribe in Audio Transcription User Guide

  3. Wait until the summary is completed. When the summary is complete, the edge of the card changes to gray and 4 buttons appears at the bottom. Also a title for the audio recording will be suggested if one was not previously chosen.

Move to citation

In the summary, you’ll see a citation with the timestamp of that content. If you select the citation, you can move to that moment and the transcript will be highlighted for a few seconds. You can scroll through the transcript or return to the summary.
