A great conference talk is worth more once it's text. Upload your recording of the keynote, breakout, or panel and Pepys turns the whole session into a clean, timestamped transcript you can search and quote – so a 45-minute talk becomes notes, a write-up, or a thread without scrubbing through the recording for that one line you remember.
Each transcript ships with an AI summary that distills the talk's main argument and takeaways, so you can capture the gist now and read the full text later. It works in 99+ languages, handles long sessions by chunking and stitching automatically, and you pay only for the minutes you transcribe – 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
