honestly the q and a while listening sounds super useful, but it would be great if you could bookmark specific moments in the audio and jump back to them later. kind of like highlights but for the actual narration

@adem132916 Would you also find a notepad useful to take notes? I could imagine to display the timestamps/bookmarks in a notepad with tags and then you could type additional notes.
Converted a dense research PDF on my morning walk and the AI explanations actually made the methodology click for me. The Q&A feature while listening is a surprisingly nice touch.

@arife1ukv Thanks! In fact most research papers are too dense to listen to in the original text, e.g. they have too much math notation and this does not work well in audio books. The AI explanations make it work for me too.
Being able to ask questions while listening is genuinely useful, but it would be even better if those answers could be saved as short voice notes you can revisit later. Right now the answers just disappear after the session ends, and sometimes I want to replay a clarification while still on the same walk.

@ardalrvo Thats a good idea, I could attach the clarifications to the chapter.
The voices sound surprisingly natural and being able to ask questions while the audio plays makes it feel way more useful than a basic PDF to MP3 tool.
The PDF to audio conversion is impressively clean and natural sounding, even with the dense academic papers I tested. The key insights feature actually saves me time when I'm just trying to grasp the gist on my morning walk.
