How ai transcription works
Upload your file
Drop in any audio or video – we extract and prepare the audio automatically.
Let AI transcribe it
AI converts the speech into clean, speaker-labeled text with timestamps in minutes.
Summarize and export
Read the AI summary, ask follow-up questions in chat, then export to TXT, Markdown, DOCX, PDF, SRT, VTT, or JSON.
AI transcription means you don't type a word: the model listens to your recording, writes down what was said, and tags who said it and when. Pepys runs that pipeline end to end – upload a file and get back an accurate, timestamped, speaker-labeled transcript instead of spending hours at the keyboard with a foot pedal.
It's more than raw text. Every transcript ships with an AI summary and built-in chat, so a long meeting, interview, or lecture becomes a recap and a quote bank in seconds. It works in 99+ languages, we never train on your audio, and you pay only for the minutes you transcribe; credits never expire.
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
