How do I convert a 3GP video to text?

To convert a 3GP video to text, upload the phone clip to Pepys and it extracts the audio and transcribes it into a clean, timestamped, speaker-labeled transcript in minutes, in 99+ languages, with an AI summary built in. Your first 60 minutes are free, no card required.

How 3gp to text works

01

Upload your 3GP

Drop in the .3gp clip from your phone – we pull the audio track out automatically.

02

Get your transcript

AI transcribes the speech into clean, speaker-labeled text with timestamps in minutes.

03

Edit and export

Tidy anything inline, then export to TXT, Markdown, DOCX, PDF, SRT, VTT, or JSON.

3GP is the lightweight video format older and budget phones use to save space, so you often end up with a clip that plays fine but can't be searched or quoted. Pepys extracts the audio from a .3gp and turns the speech into clean, timestamped text – no separate converter, no desktop software.

Whether it's a recorded talk, a field interview, or a family video you want captioned, upload it and read what was said. Your first 60 minutes are free, you pay only for what you transcribe, credits never expire, and we never train on your audio.

Clean paragraphs. No more um's and ah's.

The left is what Pepys hands back – logical paragraphs with the filler stripped out, punctuated and readable. The right is the raw, one-line-per-segment dump most transcribers leave you with.

um so yeah everyone keeps telling you to like lead with your best line right but uh honestly if you give away the whole answer in the first second you know there's basically no reason for anyone to keep watching so the hook isn't kind of the smartest thing you say it's like a loop you open that they need to close and um that's the part that actually keeps people around
