Opposite to 'verbatim' - like, but not exactly, 'paraphrased'

Opposite to 'verbatim' - like, but not exactly, 'paraphrased'

I'm looking for a word that is pretty much opposite to 'verbatim', but not 'paraphrased.' A word that means capturing the idea of something but not the exact phrasing.

I'm typing notes from an event I attended, and I want to differentiate between exact (or near-exact quotations,) and notes I'm making right now based on my memory - e.g. my current impression of what was said originally. So I'm not exactly paraphrasing in that I'm not rewording a specific quote. I've a section of my notes dedicated to verbatim quotes, and a section dedicated to [missing word].

I guess I could go with 'Impressions' or something but it's also not quite right.

There are several words (check synonyms of summary) but perhaps abstract satisfies your requirements best.
