NotebookLM Adds Turkish

Turn long videos and documents into summaries, study guides, and audio/video overviews

Google’s AI-powered note-taking and research tool NotebookLM now produces outputs in Turkish. By setting the Output Language to Turkish, users can feed PDFs, Google Docs, slide decks, and links (e.g., YouTube) to generate summaries, study guides, Q&A, quizzes, and audio/video overviews. For educators and L&D teams, this brings faster preparation cycles and more accessible learning materials.

What’s new

  • Turkish output across features: Switch Settings → Output Language → Turkish to receive all responses (summaries, guides, Q&A, audio/video overviews) in Turkish.

  • Video overviews: Create concise, local-language video summaries from lectures, webinars, or training sessions.

  • Audio overviews: Produce podcast-style briefings in Turkish for quick catch-up and review.

  • Public notebooks: Share a single link so learners or colleagues can interact with AI-generated summaries, FAQs, and overviews—no file juggling.

Practical education & workplace scenarios

  • After class or a workshop: “Summarize this YouTube lecture in Turkish, list 7 key concepts, and generate 5 short quiz questions.”

  • Corporate learning & onboarding: Turn policy PDFs and process docs into role-based briefings and FAQ cards; share with teams via a public link.

  • Educators & coaches: Convert slide decks into study guides and reading lists; speed up revision cycles and tailor Q&A to learner needs.

  • Students & individual learners: Turn long readings and recorded lectures into short Turkish summaries to accelerate comprehension.

Get started in 60 seconds

  1. Settings → Output Language → Turkish

  2. Add sources (PDF, Docs/Slides, web link, YouTube)

  3. Prompt clearly: “Create a 5-minute Turkish summary,” “Write a study guide from these notes,” “Generate a 10-question quiz.”

Notes on quality & compliance

  • Output quality improves with clean sources (selectable text in PDFs, clear audio in videos) and specific prompts.

  • When sharing publicly, follow your organization’s privacy and compliance policies.

  • Treat AI outputs as assistant drafts—have a subject-matter expert review before publishing or assigning.

EdTech Türkiye view — how to position it

NotebookLM’s Turkish capabilities shine as a content-acceleration layer that feeds your existing LMS/LXP—not a replacement.

  • Accuracy: Cross-check summaries and quizzes against the source; add expert review before rollout.

  • Learning intent: Match prompts to goals (overview vs. study guide vs. practice).

  • Integration: Export text/media into your LMS, SCORM/xAPI packages, or internal knowledge base.

  • Measurement: Track prep-time reduction, revision cycles, completion/watch time, and quiz scores to quantify impact.
