Creating your podcast
1.
Get started
The first step is to head tohttps://notebooklm.google/.
To get started just hit the Try NotebookLM button.
Upload sources
Now it’s crucial that you add your sources.
Alternatively, drag and drop a PDF or .txt file into the window.
Google recently added the ability to use a YouTube video as a source, too.
To do so hit the + button in the top left corner.
All the sources are listed in the drop-down list on the left.
The text summary in the middle window will update every single time you add a new source.
Generate audio
Once youre happy with the amount of sources you have, just hit the Generate button.
Currently, there are no options, so you get two speakers with American accents.
It takes NotebookLM a few minutes to generate the audio, so youll need to be patient.
Have a listen
Once its done, have a listen.
We think youll be amazed at how real it sounds!
pick the Share icon then turn on ‘Public access’ in the pop-up window that appears.
you might then nudge the blue ‘Copy share link’ button and share the link with people.
FAQs
Can you change the speakers' voices?
Not at the moment.
You currently have a man and a woman discussing your subject with American accents.
Wed imagine that in the future more options will be available.
Can you set the length of the conversation?
Again, no, although the more sources you add the longer the conversation gets.
Can I edit the audio or change things?
