How aiff to text works

Drop in the .aiff file – we read the lossless audio directly, no conversion needed.

Edit and export
Edit inline, then export to TXT, Markdown, DOCX, PDF, SRT, VTT, or JSON.
AIFF is Apple's lossless audio format, common in GarageBand and Logic projects, studio captures, and old Mac recordings – pristine sound, but large files that most transcription tools won't take. Pepys reads .aiff directly: upload the file and get accurate, timestamped text without converting it to MP3 first.
Because the source is uncompressed, there's no quality loss feeding the transcription either. 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

Aiff to text – questions, answered
How do I convert an AIFF file to text?
Upload the .aiff on this page – the first 60 minutes are free, no card. Pepys transcribes it into clean, timestamped text in minutes, ready to edit and export.
Do I need to convert the AIFF to MP3 first?
No. Pepys reads .aiff lossless audio directly, so you can upload the file as-is without any conversion step.
Will the large file size be a problem?
No – AIFF files are big because they're lossless, and Pepys handles that automatically, splitting long recordings and stitching the transcript back with correct timestamps.
Can I transcribe in another language?
Yes – language is auto-detected across 99+ languages, and you can translate the finished transcript into another language afterward.
