How do I generate an SRT from audio?

To generate an SRT from audio, upload your audio to Pepys and it transcribes the speech into timestamped cues you can export as a standard .srt subtitle file in minutes, in 99+ languages. Edit the text first if you like. The .srt is a downloadable sidecar file. Your first 60 minutes are free, no card required.

How audio to srt works

01

Upload your audio

Drop in any audio file – we prepare the audio and timestamp every cue automatically.

02

Get timed captions

AI transcribes the audio into clean, correctly timed subtitle cues in minutes.

03

Edit and export SRT

Tidy the text inline if you want, then download a standard .srt file.

An SRT is the universal subtitle format – every editor, player, and platform reads it. Pepys turns your audio straight into one: upload the file and it transcribes the speech into properly timed cues, then exports a clean .srt with the timestamps already lined up to what's said.

You can fix any wording before you export, and the result is a downloadable .srt sidecar file – not subtitles burned into a video. No install, no subscription, language auto-detected across 99+ languages, your first 60 minutes free, 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

Audio to srt – questions, answered

How do I generate an SRT from audio?

Upload your audio on this page – the first 60 minutes are free, no card. Pepys transcribes it into timed subtitle cues and lets you export a standard .srt file in minutes.

Are the subtitle timestamps accurate?

Yes. Pepys timestamps each cue from the audio, so the .srt lines up with what's being said – and you can fine-tune the text before exporting.

Does this add subtitles into my video?

No. Pepys produces a downloadable .srt sidecar file you load into your player or editor – it doesn't burn or hardcode subtitles into a video.

Can I get VTT instead of SRT?

Yes – the same transcript exports to VTT, as well as TXT, Markdown, DOCX, PDF, and JSON, so you can pick whichever caption or text format you need.

Do you keep my audio?

Only as long as needed to transcribe it, and you can auto-delete it after. We never train AI on your audio or transcripts.
