How to summarize my transcription?

Gladia offers a Summarization feature to quickly extract the most important information from your audio files.

This feature is currently in Beta. We welcome your feedback on Discord to improve it!

Configuration

To enable summarization, set "summarization": true.

You can also customize the style with summarization_config.


{
  "audio_url": "<your audio url>",
  "summarization": true,
  "summarization_config": {
    "type": "concise" // 'general', 'concise', or 'bullet_points'
  }
}
