Ask
Your transcripts
come alive.
Every recording becomes something you can talk to. Ask a question in plain language and get an answer grounded in what was actually said, with the exact timestamp to jump to and check it yourself.
Ask, don’t scrub
Ask the transcript anything.
An hour-long recording? Don’t skim it – ask. Every answer stays grounded in your transcript and cites the exact timestamp, so you can jump to the moment and check it yourself.
What's the main claim about memory?
That memory is a reconstruction, not a recording – every time you recall something you rebuild it from fragments and quietly edit it. The guest's blunt version: confidence is the worst possible witness.
Any technique I can actually use today?
Yes – retrieval practice: close the book and force yourself to recall instead of rereading. The struggle to recall is the workout that builds the memory. And protect your sleep – that's when the brain files the day.
Grounded in your transcript – if the answer isn’t in the audio, it says so instead of guessing.
Answers you can actually trust.
This isn’t a chatbot guessing at your file. It reads your transcript, answers from it, and shows its work, so you can verify every line.
Grounded, never guessed
Answers come only from your transcript. If something isn't in the audio, Pepys says so instead of inventing it.
Cited to the second
Every answer carries the exact timestamps it came from, so you can jump to the moment and check it yourself.

Don’t want to ask question by question? Every transcript also comes with an AI summary shaped to what you recorded, drafted automatically the moment it’s transcribed.
Common questions
- How does asking a transcript work?
- Once your audio or video is transcribed, you can ask questions about it in plain language. Pepys reads the whole transcript and answers from it, citing the exact timestamps the answer came from so you can jump back and verify.
- Will it make things up?
- No. Answers are grounded in your transcript only. If the information isn't in the recording, it tells you that instead of guessing, and every answer links the timestamps it used.
- Can it handle a long recording?
- Yes. That's the point. Instead of scrubbing through an hour-long meeting or lecture, you ask what you need and get a grounded answer in seconds, then jump straight to the moment.
- What can I ask?
- Anything the recording can answer: the main points, decisions and action items, quotes worth clipping, where a topic was discussed, a summary in your words, or follow-up questions that build on the last answer.
