Listen once.
Remember it.
EchoBites pulls a video, article, PDF or book apart into atomic, quotable insights, each one backed by the exact sentences that support it, then narrates the result and schedules it for review before you forget it.

What you get back
Not a summary. A stack of independent cards, each one a claim you can check, with the source sentences attached.
Insight Treat time like a budget, not an infinite stream.

An example card, exactly as the app renders it. Both quotes are the source's own sentences, never retyped by the model.
Cards come in four kinds
A claim the source makes, in one line.
The memorable restatement worth carrying.
The open question the evidence raises.
A next step grounded in the text.
Then listen to it, in place
The narration arrives with the same structure attached. Every insight is marked on the seek bar, and the shading underneath shows where the evidence actually piles up, so you can see at a glance which stretches are dense with claims and which are just connective tissue.
Markers sit at the median of each insight's evidence rather than at its first mention, since first mentions cluster in the opening minutes and leave the back half of a long episode looking empty. Play from any marker, or subscribe to the whole queue as a private podcast feed.
How it works
-
01
Add anything worth keeping
Paste a YouTube link or an article URL. PDFs and EPUBs upload directly.
-
02
Get cards, not a summary
The text is split, indexed and mined for its distinct claims. Each claim becomes its own card with its own evidence.
-
03
Review before you forget
A few cards surface each day on a spaced-repetition schedule that stretches as your recall holds.
Why the cards hold up
Quotes are copied, not written
Every quote is cut straight out of the source text. The model selects evidence; it never gets to paraphrase it into existence.
Nothing is dropped silently
Every part of the source ends up either cited by a card or rejected with a stated reason. Coverage is a number the pipeline checks, not a promise.
Books don't flatten it
Long sources are handled by splitting the work, not by cramming it into one prompt so a 300-page book yields as many cards as it has claims.
Retention, not a backlog
A half-life decay model decides what to resurface, so the pile shrinks instead of growing forever.
Audio, and your own feed
Narration is generated on request, and every item lands in a private RSS feed for whichever podcast app you already use.
