Where: Reader › ⋮ › Make a podcast. Library › the document's menu › More › Make a podcast. Tools › Make a podcast.
Ai turns the document into a conversation between two hosts and Cloud voices it with two different voices: Defne asks the questions and Can explains the pages. The conversation stays faithful to the document, and it says which page everything comes from. The result is an MP3 with chapter marks, to listen to on the road, at the gym or with headphones like a podcast.
- 1Open the document and tap "Make a podcast" in the ⋮ menu.
- 2Choose "Whole document" or "Quick review". Quick review makes a short, dense recap from only the places you highlighted; it is for listening to the important parts before an exam or a meeting. If the document has no highlights yet, it explains what it is for; tapping "Start highlighting" closes the window and opens the Highlighter. Highlight the important places and come back to Make a podcast.
- 3Tap "Make the podcast". First Ai writes the script, then it is voiced piece by piece. You don't have to wait: with "Keep reading" close the sheet and carry on reading the document or doing something else. The podcast is prepared in the background; a chip under the top bar and the notification bar show its progress, and "Cancel" stops it.
- 4When it is done the chip says "Podcast ready" with a dot; if the app is in the background a "Podcast ready" notification arrives. Tap the chip or the notification to open the podcast.
- 5Play it; tap a title in the "Chapters" list to jump there. "Share MP3" ("Download MP3" on the web) exports the file, "Make again" produces it from scratch.
- 6The podcast is kept with the document and is not lost: the menu now says "Listen to the podcast", reopening it is free, and all your podcasts are gathered in the Podcasts section. If Drive is connected you can listen on your other devices too.
Free and Pro: Needs a Ai plan (Starter or Pro) or trial allowance. A podcast spends 3 Ai pages for the script and as many Cloud minutes as the episode is long (most episodes are about 8 minutes). At most the first 60,000 characters of the document are used.
Tip: Just say "make a podcast from this document" to Ai: it starts the podcast itself, prepares it in the background and tells you when it is done. You can also turn a text or script you wrote together in the chat into a podcast by saying "voice this as a podcast"; the text is added to the library as a new document and its podcast sits in Podcasts. If you say "review before the exam", it makes it in the Quick review format. Ai can be wrong; for important points check the original document.
Web (quillo.tr): On quillo.tr, reader › ⋮ › Make a podcast; Library › document menu › More › Make a podcast. The progress chip shows on every page; if the tab is in the background, a browser notification arrives when it is done (if you allowed it).
iPhone: Reader › ⋯ › Make a podcast; Quick review is the same (with no highlights, "Start highlighting" opens the marker). "Keep reading" closes the sheet; the progress chip shows at the top of every screen, and when it is done a notification and a "Podcast ready" entry in the notification bell arrive. You can also say "make a podcast" to Ai. Don't close while the podcast is being made; iOS only runs apps in the background for a short time. The Podcasts list is in the "Podcasts" row on Home.
