How to turn your notes into a podcast
Three steps. No editing, no microphone, no script.
Upload anything
A PDF, a photo of your notes, a lecture recording, or plain text.
AI writes the episode
Two AI hosts discuss your material, grounded in what you uploaded, not generic filler.
Press play
Listen in your browser. Flashcards, notes, and a quiz are created from the same upload.
Some study hours can't be desk hours. Commutes, gym sessions, the walk to class.
A study podcast turns that time into review time.
PDF to podcast
Drop in a textbook chapter, lecture slides, or a reading, and the hosts walk through it the way a good study partner would: the main ideas first, then the definitions and examples that tend to show up on exams.
It pairs naturally with the rest of the study set: skim the AI notes before class, listen to the episode on the way there, and drill the flashcards from the same PDF afterwards.
Turn a lecture recording into a podcast
Upload the audio from a lecture you recorded and get back a tight two-host recap of what was actually said, instead of re-listening to the full hour, tangents included.
The same recording also becomes flashcards, structured notes, and a practice quiz, so nothing from the lecture slips away.
Laxu AI vs NotebookLM Audio Overviews
NotebookLM's Audio Overviews are genuinely good, and Google added flashcards and quizzes to NotebookLM in 2025. The honest difference is the study loop around the audio: Laxu turns one upload into a complete study set you review over time, with spaced repetition built in.

If you want to chat with a pile of research sources, NotebookLM is a great tool. If you want a NotebookLM Audio Overview alternative built for exam prep, Laxu turns the same upload into everything you need to actually review it.
Podcasts in 7+ languages
Upload notes in your language and the hosts discuss them in that language, not an English episode about foreign-language notes.
Common questions
How do I turn my notes into a podcast for free?
Upload your notes, a PDF, a photo of your notes or a lecture recording to Laxu AI, open the Podcast tab and tap Generate. About a minute later you have a study podcast where two AI hosts explain your material in your language. It works on the free plan.
Is the AI podcast generator really free?
Yes. Podcast generation is included on the free plan, and no credit card is required. Upload a PDF, your notes, a photo, or a lecture recording, and Laxu creates a two-host study podcast from it. The same upload also gives you flashcards, structured notes, and a practice quiz.
What can I turn into a podcast?
PDFs (textbook chapters, lecture slides, readings), photos of handwritten or printed notes, lecture recordings and other audio, and plain text. Whatever you upload becomes the source material for the episode.
Can I turn a PDF into a podcast for free?
Yes. Your first upload is free and no credit card is required. Upload a textbook chapter, lecture slides, or any other PDF and you get a two-host episode about it, along with flashcards, notes, and a practice quiz from the same PDF.
What does the podcast sound like?
Two AI hosts having a conversation about your material: one explains the concepts, the other asks the clarifying questions you would ask. Episodes run about 8 minutes per study set, so they fit a commute or a walk between classes.
How long does it take to generate a podcast?
Usually a minute or two from upload to pressing play: your notes come first, then the podcast takes about a minute. Episodes run about 8 minutes, so you can upload before you leave and listen on the way.
Which languages are supported?
Laxu works in 7+ languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, and Japanese. Upload notes in your language and the hosts discuss them in that language.
How is this different from NotebookLM's Audio Overviews?
Both create a two-host AI audio discussion from your files. The difference is what surrounds it: in Laxu, the same upload also produces flashcards with spaced-repetition scheduling, a practice quiz, and structured notes, all in one study set you review over time. NotebookLM added flashcards and quizzes in 2025, but it has no built-in spaced-repetition review scheduling, so many students export their cards to other apps to actually review them.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Podcasts generate and play right in your browser, on your phone or laptop. Your flashcards, notes, and quizzes from the same upload sync to your Laxu account too.
Put your notes in your headphones.
