How to Use AI Podcast Mode

Turn dry study materials into engaging, podcast-style audio that makes learning feel like entertainment.

Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Open Your Document — Navigate to any uploaded PDF in your VoiceBrief dashboard.
  2. Select Podcast Mode — Choose the Podcast option when generating audio. AI will create a conversational script from your material. Tip: Podcast mode works best with conceptual content like textbook chapters and review materials.
  3. Wait for Generation — Podcast mode takes a bit longer as the AI creates a natural conversational script, then generates audio.
  4. Listen Like a Podcast — The audio will explain concepts in a conversational, engaging style rather than just reading the text.
  5. Follow Up with Quizzes — After listening to the podcast version, test your understanding with AI quizzes. Tip: The podcast format makes material memorable, and quizzes confirm you actually retained it.
