How audio summarizer works
Upload audio or paste a link
Drop in any recording or paste a link – any format, any language, no length limit.
Get your AI summary
AI transcribes the audio, then writes a concise summary with key points and action items in minutes.
Read, dig in, or export
Skim the summary, ask follow-up questions in chat, or export the summary and transcript to TXT, Markdown, DOCX, or PDF.
An hour of audio rarely needs an hour of your attention. Whether it's a meeting, an interview, a webinar, or a long voice memo, Pepys listens for you: upload the recording or paste a link and get back a clear summary, the key points, and the decisions and action items that actually matter – so you can act on it in two minutes instead of replaying it.
The summary isn't a black box. It's grounded in a full, timestamped, speaker-labeled transcript, so every takeaway links back to where it was said. Ask follow-up questions in built-in chat, jump to the moment, and never train anyone's model on your audio. Pay only for what you summarize; 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

Audio summarizer – questions, answered
How do I summarize an audio recording with AI?
Upload your audio file or paste a link on this page. Pepys transcribes it and writes a concise summary with key points and action items in minutes – your first 60 minutes are free, no card required.
What's the difference between a summary and a transcript?
The transcript is the full word-for-word text; the summary distills it into the main points, decisions, and action items. Pepys gives you both, so you can skim the summary and dive into the transcript whenever you need the detail.
How long can the recording be?
There's no length limit – summarize a two-minute memo or a three-hour panel. Longer recordings just use more of your free minutes or credits, which never expire.
Can I summarize audio in another language?
Yes. Pepys auto-detects 99+ languages and summarizes in the spoken language, so a Spanish meeting or a French interview comes back summarized without any setup.
Do you train on my audio?
Never. We don't train AI on your audio, transcripts, or summaries, and you can auto-delete your files after processing.
