Spotify is launching a new AI feature for audiobooks that summarizes what you’ve already heard without needing to rewind. The company likens the feature, called Recaps, to a “previously on” segment at the start of episodes in a TV series.
Recaps will be available automatically in the iOS app for a limited number of English-language audiobooks, with plans to expand to more audiobooks in an unspecified time frame. While the Recap button is always present on supported titles, you will have to listen to more than 15–20 minutes of the audiobook to get a summary, according to the Spotify blog post on the feature. After that, Recaps will be “regularly updated” as you progress through the audiobook. It’s “designed to help people finish the books they start,” the company says in the blog.
