Turn Notes into a Podcast — Convert Study Notes to Audio with AI
Turn your notes into a podcast you can learn from anywhere
You have the notes. Lecture summaries, research highlights, study guides, meeting minutes — pages of text you know you should review but never find time to sit down and read.
Podhoc turns your notes into studio-quality audio capsules. Upload a text file, paste content directly, or drop a Word document — and within minutes you have a podcast-style episode designed not just to read your notes back, but to teach you the material using pedagogical techniques that aid retention.
Why audio? Because you already have the time
You commute. You exercise. You cook, clean, walk the dog. Those hours are currently silent — or filled with content that is not moving you forward.
Turning your notes into audio means you can revise without sitting down. The concept that would not stick from reading alone clicks when you hear it explained, questioned, and reinforced during a morning run.
Not text-to-speech — pedagogical audio
Generic text-to-speech reads your notes in a flat, robotic voice. Podhoc does something fundamentally different:
- Restructures your notes into a natural conversation or lecture format
- Applies pedagogical techniques — scaffolding, first principles, the Feynman technique
- Uses multiple AI voices for engagement (up to 3 speakers)
- Adds context and explanations where your notes are terse
The result is not a robot reading a document. It is a capsule designed for understanding and retention.
How to turn your notes into a podcast
- Upload your notes — Drag and drop a .txt, .pdf, .doc, or .docx file, or paste text directly
- Choose your format — Pick from 8 audio styles: Deep Dive, Didactic, Feynman Technique, Debate, and more
- Set your preferences — Choose language (74 available), duration (5 min to 2 hours), and number of voices
- Get your capsule — Download or stream in minutes. Listen on any device
Perfect for students
Exam revision becomes something you can do while walking to class. Transform lecture notes into audio study sessions that reinforce key concepts through structured dialogue instead of passive re-reading.
