RollSummary turns a tabletop session recording into an AI recap and a linked campaign wiki, with a note and backlinks for every NPC, place, and plot thread.
About RollSummary
What Is RollSummary
RollSummary is a tool for tabletop role-playing groups that want their sessions remembered without writing notes by hand. You upload the night's recording, usually an MP3, WAV, or m4a file, and it returns a structured recap: a short summary, key events, character beats, and what the party will chase next. The same recording spins up wiki notes for the people, places, and threads that came up.
It works in three layers. Sessions handle the recap, turning a four-hour game into a clean write-up in about ten minutes. Characters build an NPC note for everyone mentioned at the table, with portraits, history, and relationships that stay linked across sessions. World building ties locations, factions, and lore together with wiki-links, backlinks, and a local graph, the way note-taking power users already think.
One detail matters before you start. RollSummary detects the language your table speaks, then writes the whole session note in it, covering 30 or more languages, and it keeps your NPC names, places, and timestamps as they are. It also says it doesn't train on your sessions and deletes the audio after processing unless you choose to keep it.
Getting Started
- Create your campaign and start a new session in RollSummary.
- Record live at the table or upload an existing recording such as an MP3, WAV, or m4a file.
- Let it transcribe and tell each voice apart, then generate the recap.
- Review the recap so every note becomes canon before it is saved.
- Check the auto-created NPC, place, and plot notes, and link them into your wiki.

Key features
Session recaps from recordings
You upload the night's recording, and RollSummary returns a structured recap rather than a raw transcript. It pulls out a short summary, key events, and character beats, and flags what the party will chase next. A four-hour session becomes a clean write-up in about ten minutes. Session notes are created automatically and linked to your wiki, so the recap and the notes stay in one place.
NPC notes with portraits and history
Every character mentioned at the table becomes a note with their own history, relationships, and portrait. Link them once and RollSummary keeps the web of who-knows-who intact across sessions. NPC profiles carry portraits and history, and backlinks surface every session they appeared in, which helps when a face returns after a long gap.
World building with wiki-links
Locations, factions, and lore connect through wiki-links and a local graph. You jump from a tavern to the city to the region without losing the thread, the way note-taking power users already think. The graph shows how your world connects, and you can filter and search hundreds of notes instantly when a name comes up mid-session.
Language detection across 30 or more languages
RollSummary hears the language your table speaks and writes the whole session note in it, covering titles, section headings, and every beat, across 30 or more languages. Your NPC names, your places, and your timestamps stay exactly as they are. That matters for tables that mix languages or play in one that the recap should match.
Voice separation and crosstalk handling
Every voice at the table is transcribed and told apart, even with crosstalk, so the recap attributes the right words to the right person. It records live at the table or takes an existing file, with MP3, WAV, and m4a all supported. Clear attribution keeps the recap readable when several players talk over each other.
Privacy controls for your sessions
RollSummary says it doesn't train on your sessions, and audio is deleted after processing unless you choose to keep it. You review every note before it becomes canon, so the wiki reflects what actually happened. For groups that treat their campaign as private, those two choices decide whether the tool fits.
Pros and cons
Pros
- It turns a four-hour recording into a clean recap in about ten minutes, so no one has to write notes by hand.
- Every NPC, place, and plot thread becomes a linked note with portraits, history, and backlinks.
- It handles 30 or more languages and keeps your names, places, and timestamps intact.
- Wiki-links, backlinks, and a local graph tie the world together in a way note-taking power users already know.
- It says it doesn't train on your sessions and deletes audio after processing unless you keep it.
Cons
- The free option is one 90-minute session, not an ongoing free tier, so longer campaigns need a paid plan from $10/mo.
- It is built around recording the table, which suits online or mic'd games better than a noisy in-person room.
- The value sits in the wiki long term, so a one-off session shows less than a months-long campaign.
- It focuses on recap and wiki rather than running the game, so it isn't a virtual tabletop or rules engine.
