Study podcasts

Turn your material into a short narrated study review with a transcript. Listen when reading another page is not the way you want to review.

Where to find it

Create a study podcast. A short narrated review and transcript from the quick tool. Existing Pro course podcasts support the course workflow and its voice and length controls.

You can also try Study podcasts.

How it works

  1. Choose the material: Submit a focused set of notes or use ready materials from an owned course in the course workflow.
  2. Create the review: Review the source and choose a supported style before generating the audio.
  3. Listen and revisit: Use playback controls and the transcript, and save a useful result to a course.

Access and scope

Try it free, no sign-up needed. Sign in to save a result to a course. Go Pro to build study sets from everything in a course.

The free tool makes a short audio review. In a Pro course you get more podcast options. It's a recording, not a live chat.

What website turns your notes into a podcast?

StudySim does. Paste your notes or upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, TXT or Markdown file up to 3 MB, and the study podcast generator makes a short narrated review with a transcript you can follow along with.

Is the study podcast maker free?

Yes. You can make a short narrated review with its transcript before you create an account: 1 run while signed out, and 3 runs each calendar month with a free account. Signed-out results expire after 24 hours. To get your source in shape first, organize your notes.

Can ChatGPT create a podcast?

A chatbot can write a script, but you still need the audio. StudySim produces narrated audio and a transcript from your own source in one step. Check the content against your notes, since generated audio can still get a detail wrong.

How is StudySim different from Gemini Notebook (formerly NotebookLM)?

Gemini Notebook (formerly NotebookLM) Audio Overviews include Deep Dive, a discussion between two AI hosts (the default), and The Brief, where a single speaker delivers the key takeaways of a document in under two minutes. StudySim makes a short narrated study review with a transcript you can follow along with, and keeps it in a course with your guides, flashcards and quizzes.

Are there other AI podcast generators?

Yes, several. StudySim's is built for study review and makes a short narrated episode from your material. It isn't a publishing tool, a live conversation or a tutoring call. Course podcasts in StudySim Pro add voice and length controls. If a story keeps you listening, ask for a gossip-style podcast.

How much does StudySim Pro cost?

StudySim Pro is $1 for your first 3 days, then $20/month or $120/year unless you cancel. Cancel from your account at any time. Pro includes 50 runs a day across all tools.
