How Freshrecap works, step by step
Freshrecap turns any source into a summary to read or listen to. From text to video, through podcast, PDF or EPUB, the path stays the same: you add a source, pick the format and language, then keep the essence in your private library, found on every surface.
1. Add a source
Paste text, import an EPUB, or resolve a URL (YouTube, article, podcast, PDF). You always choose the source.
2. Choose the format
Select Express briefing, Podcast or Reading, then the language and voice. Freshrecap prepares the content before generation.
3. Keep what matters
Read, listen, save or share the result, kept in your private library and found across all your surfaces.
4. Share the essence
Send the summary by link or export it, then find it on every surface linked to your account.
