Catch Gist

Your personal explainer

Catch the gist. Then dig in.

Add a webpage, text, a document, or an image. Hear the point, then talk it through until it makes sense.

What should I explain?

Use a link, paste text, or choose a document or image. Add more only when they belong together.

Drop a file anywhere in this panel. Add up to 5 items; they are compared only when you ask.

Start listening from any webpage

While browsing, select a passage or use the current page. Catch Gist starts with the key points. Interrupt and ask when something is unclear, or hear the full text afterward.

You still listen and sign in on catchgist.com. The extension only sends the material to the site.

How it 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 Catch Gist.

  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.
