Listen to two AI-generated speakers discuss the sources in a Student Space as a natural, conversational exchange.
Note
Student Spaces is available only in Acrobat on Android. It isn't available on iOS.
A Podcast offers an audio-first way to review source material. One fictional AI speaker guides the discussion and introduces topics, while the other responds like a subject-matter expert. A transcript appears below the player and follows the conversation.

Verify the source material
Confirm that the Student Space contains the source material you want the tool to use.
The tool uses the sources available when it is generated. Later source changes don't update an existing tool.
Create a Podcast
Depending on the scope of the source material, you may be asked to choose a narrower focus.
Start the generation process.
Wait while Student Spaces creates the Podcast.
When generation is complete, the Podcast appears in Study Tools.
Podcast generation may take longer than text-based study tools because Student Spaces creates the discussion, voices, audio, and transcript.
Listen to the Podcast
Open the generated Podcast from Study Tools.
Use the audio player to start, pause, and move through the discussion. The two speakers explore the source material as a conversation rather than reading a simple narration.
Listen to the Podcast when you want to:
- Review material without continuously looking at the screen.
- Hear concepts explained through questions and responses.
- Reinforce the material through repeated listening.
- Become familiar with the main ideas before studying them in more detail
Follow the transcript
The transcript appears below the audio player and follows the Podcast conversation.
Use the transcript to:
- Read along while listening.
- Review a section you didn't understand.
- Locate a topic discussed in the audio.
- Revisit important explanations without replaying the entire Podcast.
Use a Podcast while studying
A Podcast can help you:
- Preview an unfamiliar subject.
- Review material while completing another activity.
- Hear relationships between concepts explained conversationally.
- Reinforce information you have already studied.
- Identify topics that need additional review.
Use the Podcast with other study tools when you need another way to work with the same material. For example, use Flashcards for recall practice, a Quiz to test your understanding, or a Study guide for more detailed explanations.
