How flac to text works

01

Upload your FLAC

Drop in the lossless FLAC file – no need to convert it to MP3 first.

02

Get your transcript

AI transcribes the FLAC into clean, speaker-labeled text with timestamps in minutes.

03

Edit and export

Edit inline, then export to TXT, Markdown, DOCX, PDF, SRT, VTT, or JSON.

FLAC keeps every detail of the recording, which makes it a favorite for archived interviews, field audio, and music sessions – but a pristine file is still useless until you can read it. Pepys transcribes FLAC directly: upload the file and get back an accurate, speaker-labeled transcript in minutes.

You don't have to down-convert to MP3 or strip the file first – Pepys reads the lossless audio as-is. There's no software to install and no subscription; your first 60 minutes are free, 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
