Listen to audio summaries in Google Docs

Audio summaries in Google Docs, a new Gemini-powered feature that enables you to listen to a brief overview of your document, can help you get up to speed quickly and understand the most important parts of your content. For example, you can quickly catch up on notes before a meeting, or summarize a long report and get the highlights in only a few minutes.

Audio summaries provide a short verbal synopsis of the contents in your document, including multiple tabs. These summaries are typically under a few minutes long, and use a natural speaking style to help you catch up quickly and efficiently.

You can personalize your audio experience by selecting different voices like narrator, persuader, coach, and more.  Plus, you can adjust playback speeds to suit your preferences and learning style.
