Frequently asked questions

What is CatchGist?

Your personal explainer. Add material, hear the gist first, then ask until it makes sense.

Is this an AI podcast?

No. It does not create a two-host show, and nothing is published. You hear an explanation meant for you, and you can interrupt and ask at any time.

Is this text-to-speech or a read-aloud app?

No. The main thing is the gist, then your questions. Hear the original is optional, if you want the whole piece.

What can I add?

A link, pasted text, a document, or an image, in any language. Up to 5 items at once, together only when they belong together. They are compared only when you ask.

Can I ask by voice?

Yes. Interrupt, then ask by voice or by typing.

Do I have to hear the full text?

No. You hear the gist first. Tap Hear the original only if you want the whole piece.

How is this different from chatting with a document?

CatchGist starts by speaking the point, not by handing you a long written summary. You can interrupt at the place you’re listening.

What does it cost?

Free includes 10 gists and 10 full-text listens a month. One-time packs are also available, and they do not expire. See the pricing page for the exact packs.
