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.

ODO:

abstract NOUN

1 A summary of the contents of a book, article, or speech:

‘an abstract of her speech’

Synonyms

summary, synopsis, precis, résumé, outline, recapitulation, abridgement, condensation, digest, summation


I think the correct word actually is paraphrasing. You seem to feel that "paraphrasing" necessarily implies that you have the exact quote available to you, but are intentionally choosing to use different words; but that's not in fact the case. Quoting from http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/paraphrase:

We paraphrase all the time. When you tell a friend what someone else has said, you're almost always paraphrasing, since you're not repeating the exact words. If you go to hear a talk, you might paraphrase the speaker's main points afterward for your friends.


I might call the rest of your notes the gist of what was said.

gist - The substance or general meaning of a speech or text

Paraphrase seems to imply rewording or improvement rather than simple distillation of the original. Given the amount of sarcastic, pillorying paraphrasing done these days, I'm also leery of using that term.
