How to Use NoteGPT

Getting started with NoteGPT

In this guide, you'll learn how to use NoteGPT to summarise papers, videos, and lectures quickly and effectively. By the end, you'll be able to convert complex information into clear, concise summaries.

Step 1: Sign up and set up

1. Go to notegpt.io.
2. Click on the "Sign Up" button located at the top right corner of the homepage.
3. Fill in your details and create an account. You can use your email or sign up via Google.
4. Once registered, log in to your dashboard. Familiarise yourself with the interface, which includes options for uploading documents and accessing features.

Step 2: Your first summary

1. On your dashboard, click the "Upload" button to add a PDF document or select "Transcribe Video" for summarising video content.
2. If uploading a PDF, choose a file from your computer and click "Open." For video, paste the URL from a platform like YouTube and click "Transcribe."
3. Once the file is uploaded or transcribed, click on the "Summarise" button.
4. Wait a moment for NoteGPT to process the information, then view your summary in the output section. You can export this summary as a text file or copy it directly.

Step 3: Get better results

To improve the quality of your summaries:

1. Use clear and concise documents or videos without too much jargon.
2. If summarising a video, ensure the transcript is accurate and complete by reviewing the transcription before summarising.
3. Experiment with the "Summary Length" settings to choose between a brief overview or a more detailed summary.

Pro tip

Take advantage of the "Highlight Key Points" feature after generating your summary. This helps you quickly identify the most important information without rereading the entire summary.

Common mistake to avoid

Avoid uploading overly complex documents or videos filled with technical terms. NoteGPT works best with clear, structured content; otherwise, the summary may not capture the essential points accurately.
