How do you transcribe a Box file?
To transcribe a Box file, create a public shared link to the audio or video, paste it into Pepys, and start transcription. Pepys securely fetches the shared file and returns editable, timestamped text in 99+ languages. Downloads must be allowed; private, password-protected, and folder links are not supported.
How Box transcription works
Copy the shared file link
In Box, open the audio or video file, allow downloads, and copy its public shared link.
Paste it into Pepys
Paste the link here. Pepys securely fetches the shared file and starts transcription.
Review and export
Edit the transcript, rename speakers, and export it as TXT, Markdown, DOCX, PDF, SRT, VTT, or JSON.
A recording in Box should not need to be downloaded and uploaded again before you can work with it. Copy its public shared-file link, paste it into Pepys, and move straight from the recording to searchable text.
Pepys supports common audio and video formats, detects the spoken language automatically, and adds timestamps. You can clean up the text, label speakers, use the AI summary, and export the result in the format your workflow needs.
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

How do I transcribe a Box file?
Create a public shared link for one audio or video file in Box, make sure downloads are allowed, paste the link on this page, and select Transcribe.
Do I need to connect my Box account?
No. A public shared-file link is enough. Private, password-protected, expired, or otherwise restricted links cannot be imported.

Not yet. Paste a shared link to one audio or video file. For a folder or restricted file, download the recording from Box and upload it to Pepys instead.
Which Box files can Pepys transcribe?
Most common audio and video formats work, including MP3, M4A, WAV, MP4, and MOV. The shared link must point to the file itself and allow downloads.
