How aac to text works
Upload your AAC
Drop in the AAC file – we decode and prepare the audio for you.

AAC is the codec inside most M4A files, Apple recordings, YouTube rips, and exported video tracks – efficient to store, but useless if you actually need to read or quote what was said. Pepys turns an AAC into searchable text: upload the file and get back an accurate, speaker-labeled transcript with timestamps.
There's no app to install and no subscription. 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

Aac to text – questions, answered
How do I convert an AAC file to text?
Upload your AAC on this page – the first 60 minutes are free, no card. Pepys transcribes it into clean, timestamped text in minutes, which you can edit and export.
Is AAC the same as M4A?
M4A is usually an AAC stream in a container, so the audio is the same. Pepys handles both, plus MP3, WAV, FLAC and more – upload whichever you have.
Is there a length limit?
Free transcripts cover your first 60 minutes. Long AAC files are handled automatically – we split them and stitch the transcript back together with correct timestamps.
Do you keep my AAC file?
Only as long as needed to transcribe it, and you can auto-delete it after. We never train AI on your audio or transcripts.
