Keep research notes while listening to a podcast
Stop scrubbing through hours of audio. CHELA summarizes lengthy podcast episodes, extracts key quotes, and organizes themes so you can prep for interviews faster.
Turn Talk into TasksStop losing brilliant ideas.
A useful record keeps the details you want to return to: names, decisions, questions and next steps. Chela can process a voice note into organised information that you can review and search. State what matters in the recording, then check the resulting note before using it elsewhere.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there an audio length limit?
CHELA can process long-form audio files, making it perfect for 2-3 hour podcast episodes typically analyzed by researchers.
Can it identify different speakers?
Yes, our speaker diarization accurately distinguishes between the host and multiple guests throughout the episode.
Can I export the summaries to Notion?
Review the summary and use the sharing or individual PDF export options available in Chela. If you move information into a writing or research tool, check its formatting there. This guide does not promise Markdown export or direct synchronisation.
Does it filter out ad reads?
Our thematic categorization helps you identify and skip over sponsor segments by grouping those sections under "commercial" or "sponsorship" themes.
