The more you speak, the more material NotebookLM has to work with.

Back home, upload your audio files as a Source to NotebookLM. The AI tool will isolate the speech in your recordings and generate a detailed transcript, no matter the language. Clear recordings with minimal background noise will help ensure a smooth transcription process. Just remember to enunciate clearly!
