Google’s NotebookLM works with sources you collect in a notebook yourself. One feature is Audio Overviews, which presents the content as a conversation. It has been around for a while and is worth trying with something small.
Start with a short text you know well: notes from a study group or your own introduction to a hobby. Then listen for what gets highlighted and what disappears in the summary.
It can offer another route into the material, especially when you want an overview before reading more carefully. You may also discover that your original text needs to be clearer.
An audio overview is still an AI interpretation. Check important details against the source, and use the format to spark questions. That way, listening can become the beginning of a conversation that helps you learn.
