Getting Started
Create an account, run your first transcription, and understand what credits buy.
- Create your accountA free account takes a minute and comes with 60 minutes of transcription – no card, no subscription.
- Your first transcriptionDrop in a recording or paste a link, then read the transcript, export it, or ask it questions.
- Credits and free minutesPay for the minutes you use, not a subscription: 1 credit = 1 minute, and the balance never expires.
Integrations
Drive, OneDrive, Zoom, Telegram, Zapier, Chrome, and connecting an AI agent.
- Transcribe recordings from Google DriveConnect Drive once, then pull audio and video straight from the cloud into a transcript, including the shared links people send you.
- Transcribe recordings from OneDriveConnect Microsoft OneDrive once, then transcribe a recording from the cloud, including files shared with you from SharePoint.
- Transcribe Zoom cloud recordingsConnect Zoom once, then pick a meeting's cloud recording and get a transcript back – no download, no re-upload, no bot in the call.
- Turn Telegram voice notes into transcriptsLink a chat once and Pepys answers in it: send a voice note, an audio file, or a video and the transcript comes back as a reply.
- Transcribe the page you are on from ChromeOne click on any video, podcast, or audio page opens Pepys with that link and transcribes it – speaker labels, summary, and a chat about the transcript.
- Connect ChatGPT and Claude to PepysPepys runs an MCP server, so an AI agent can transcribe a file or a pasted link on its own and use the transcript as context.
API & MCP
The v1 REST API and the MCP server, from authentication to webhooks.
- AuthenticationOne key, one header, and every endpoint under a single base URL.
- Create a transcriptionStart an async job from a link, a podcast feed, or a file you have already uploaded.
- Get a transcriptionPoll the job, or let a webhook tell you when it is finished, then read the text and segments.
- Direct uploadsThree calls: ask for a presigned URL, PUT the bytes, then transcribe the reference you got back.
- WebhooksGet a signed POST the moment a job finishes, with a constant-time HMAC check on your side.
- PodcastsA podcast is an RSS feed, and each episode's audio is its enclosure – so a feed URL is a valid source.
- Errors and limitsThe status codes the API returns, what each one means, and the ceilings on a single source.
- MCP serverA Model Context Protocol server so an agent can transcribe on its own, then read the transcript back as context.
