Create Bookmarks in Just Two Clicks

Condens now allows you to create bookmarks for your video and audio recordings, ensuring you grasp essential content and effortlessly navigate extensive transcripts.

  • Use bookmarks to quickly skim the text of your recording and move between different parts of your data in no time.

  • Bookmarks are especially handy for longer transcripts or if you wish to recall the topic of an existing recording.

  • They allow you to skip the step of scrolling through the text and focus on its purpose instead, significantly improving your workflow in Condens.

For new recordings

Upon uploading your recording file to Condens, when the video is transcribed, bookmarks are automatically generated by default and displayed on the right-hand side. You have the flexibility to edit or remove these bookmarks at any time. If you prefer not to have bookmarks by default, you can easily disable this option in the transcription settings.

For existing recordings

To generate bookmarks for existing recordings and transcripts, simply navigate to theand select "Generate Bookmarks." The editable bookmarks will promptly appear on the right, allowing you to jump to specific sections of your data.

If you want to change the language of your bookmarks, you can do so easily in the settings.

  • Use summaries to grasp the core message of your Artifact or a Highlight in a few seconds.

  • Summaries are very useful for Artifacts or Highlights, containing longer text, or if you wish to recall the topic of existing ones.

  • Summaries let you save valuable time and focus on the most relevant content to pick up for further analysis or for sharing.

Here's how it works:

It's important to note that if a summary already exists, our AI will suggest replacing it, giving you complete control over your content.

Just like with bookmarks, you have the flexibility to easily adjust the language of your summaries in the settings.
