How CatchGist works

Six steps, no manual: add material, pick how it sounds, catch the gist, interrupt anytime, ask until it makes sense — then hear the original if you want the whole thing.

1. 1

   Add material

   Drop, paste, or upload text, a link, a document, or an image. Up to 5 pieces at once.

   You can also send a page from your browser: after installing the extension, select text or open an article and click its icon to start the gist in CatchGist.

2. 2

   Pick how it sounds

   Choose the language you hear, a voice (Eve, Ara, Rex, Sal, or Leo), and a speed. This changes only the audio, not the site's language.

3. 3

   Catch the gist

   Tap Catch the gist and hear the point first.

4. 4

   Interrupt anytime

   Interrupt anywhere, by voice or by typing, to ask.

5. 5

   Ask until it makes sense

   Ask for detail, go deeper, say it another way, or just the part you missed.

6. 6

   Hear the original, if you want it

   Want the whole thing? Tap Hear the original and play it as written, start to finish.

One piece or several, understood through conversation.
