From slide deck to summary in three steps

1

Export your slides as a PDF

PowerPoint, Keynote, and Google Slides all export to PDF in one click. If your professor already shares PDFs, skip straight to upload.

2

Upload to Bananote

Bananote reads the deck and writes a structured summary with the key points organized, not just the text scraped off each slide.

3

Fill in what the slides leave out

Chat with the notes to test your understanding, or generate flashcards and a scored quiz from the same deck.

Why students summarize slides with Bananote

Slides alone are half the lecture

A deck of bullet points made sense in the room. Bananote structures it into notes that make sense at your desk, and chat helps you probe the gaps.

Catch up without begging for notes

Missed a class? The shared deck becomes a real summary in seconds, so you're reviewing the material instead of reconstructing it.

Pair slides with the lecture recording

Upload the audio from class alongside the deck and keep both in the same class folder. The recording fills in what the slides only hint at.

In the language you study best in

Bananote works in 100+ languages and can translate note content into any language, so international lectures and language courses both work.
