TLDR

What does TLDR stand for? In internet slang, TLDR is an abbreviation for "too long; didn't read" and is used to denote a short summary at the top of a long article or social media post. With Metaview, you can quickly create a one-paragraph summary of your interviews and easily share them with colleagues.

Select your topics

Select AI-generated topics or create your own topics by clicking Create a topic. Once you have selected 3 topics, click Generate TLDR. Metaview will generate a one-paragraph summary using your topics in a few seconds.

Create custom topics

Your custom topics will be available for your future calls to speed up TLDR creation. Give the topic a name and specify the questions Metaview should try to answer when covering this topic. For the best result, make sure the questions are related to the topic of interest and are as specific as possible.

For example:

  • Topic name: Availability

  • Enter question: "What is the candidate's notice period?", "When is the candidate available to start?" (if you add more than one question, make sure they related to the same topic)

Click Add to save your question, and Add topic to create your custom topic.

You can adjust previously created custom topics by clicking on the ⚙️ (gear) icon next to your custom topic.

Adjust TLDR output

Click a topic 1, 2, 3, 4x times to toggle its length between - (short), = (medium), ≡ (long) or to remove it from the summary.

Similarly to AI Notes, you can also use the following options:

  • Pronouns: They (default), She, He

  • Identifier: "Candidate", [Candidate name] (see to change the candidate's name)

  • Translate your TLDR into one of Metaview's 40+ supported languages

Use the footnotes to review the transcript

In your generated TLDR, Metaview will provide you with helpful footnotes so that you can quickly consult the transcript where the topic summary came from. Click on the footnotes like [1] to try it.

Use and share your TLDR

Once you are happy with your summary, you can add it to your main AI notes, copy the text (for example, to be pasted in an email to a hiring manager), or if you have an ATS integration, push it to the ATS.

Troubleshooting

  1. Not all speakers are assigned

    Metaview will not be able to correctly generate a TLDR if it was unable to identify all call participants. Go to the Transcript tab to . You’ll then be able to generate the TLDR.

  2. No candidate is identified on the call

    Currently, TLDRs generate summaries based on what the candidate has said. Therefore, you will need to ensure that at least one participant in the transcript is labeled as a candidate. Go to for details.

  3. Short call duration

    TLDR feature requires a sufficiently-long conversation to be able to generate topics and a one-page summary for you. If your call is very short (under 5 minutes) or the candidate spoke very little, you will likely get an error when trying to use this feature.

  4. No content related to selected topics

    You will get a warning if Metaview is unable to identify any content to summarize for one or more of your selected topics. We recommend selecting at least 3 topics so that the TLDR covers a range of themes from the conversation.

  5. I am not satisfied with the TLDR output

    Your feedback is invaluable to help us improve TLDR quality and reliability. The best way to signal an issue is to submit it directly underneath the TLDR summary.
