Google's Gemini AI now offers audio summaries of PDF files, allowing users to listen to content in a podcast-like format. This feature aims to make digesting lengthy documents more accessible and convenient.
Announced on November 12, 2025, the new capability in Gemini enables users to convert PDF content into audio overviews, mimicking the style of a podcast. According to TechRadar, this update caters to those who prefer listening over reading, particularly for complex or lengthy documents.
The feature builds on Gemini's existing AI tools, providing a hands-free way to consume information. While specific technical details on how the audio is generated remain undisclosed in the announcement, it positions Gemini as a versatile assistant for productivity tasks.
This development reflects the ongoing evolution of AI assistants toward multimodal interactions, combining text processing with audio output to enhance user experience.
