How do I turn audio into subtitles?
To turn audio into subtitles, upload your recording to Pepys and it transcribes the speech into timed cues, then exports a clean SRT or VTT subtitle file you can drop into any player or editor. It works in 99+ languages, auto-detected. Your first 60 minutes are free, no card required.
How audio to subtitles works
Upload your audio
Drop in any audio file – we prepare the audio and detect the language automatically.
Transcribe into timed cues
AI transcribes the speech into accurate, timestamped subtitle cues in minutes.
Download SRT or VTT
Export a ready-to-use SRT or VTT file – or grab TXT, Markdown, DOCX, PDF, or JSON instead.
Subtitles start with a transcript that's split into short, well-timed cues. Pepys does both at once: upload an audio file and it transcribes the speech, then breaks it into subtitle lines with start and end timestamps, ready to export as SRT or VTT for YouTube, a video editor, or any player.
Language is auto-detected across 99+ languages, long recordings are chunked and stitched automatically, and you can translate the finished subtitles into another language. 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

Audio to subtitles – questions, answered
How do I turn audio into subtitles?
Upload your audio file on this page – the first 60 minutes are free, no card. Pepys transcribes it into timed cues and you download a ready-to-use SRT or VTT subtitle file in minutes.
What's the difference between SRT and VTT?
Both are timed subtitle files; SRT is the most widely supported, while VTT (WebVTT) is used for web video. Pepys exports either, so pick the one your player or platform expects.
Can I make subtitles in another language?
Yes – language is auto-detected across 99+ languages, and you can translate the finished subtitles into another language while keeping the timing intact.
Can I edit the subtitles before exporting?
Yes. Edit the text inline first, then export – so your SRT or VTT comes out clean and correctly timed. We never train AI on your audio or transcripts.
