Download the Audio Overview from NotebookLM and drop it here. You get what the two hosts said as timestamped text, to quote, to check against your sources, to caption a video version or to translate.
The file you have
There is no link to paste for this one. A shared notebook link opens NotebookLM, not the audio. Download the file and upload it.
How it works
⋮ → Download in the Audio Overview player.
A 20-minute overview is text in under a minute.
Check claims against your documents, pull quotes, or export SRT to caption the audio as a video.
Good to know
What comes back
The same four things for every NotebookLM audio recording, whatever its length.
Every line carries its time. Click a line to hear that second again, or search a name or phrase and jump to each place it was said.
A brief with the takeaways, chapters with their start times, and the quotes worth keeping. Speakers are identified and named in the summary, key quotes and chapters.
Ask where a topic came up or what was decided, and get the answer with the time it was said, instead of scrolling the whole text.
TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT, JSON from the same transcript: a document to edit, caption files for video, plain text to paste, structured data for your own tools.
