How do I convert Hindi audio to text?

To turn Hindi audio into text, upload your file or paste a link and Pepys writes it out in Devanagari, timestamped and searchable, in minutes.

How hindi audio to text works

01

Upload or paste a link

Drop in a Hindi recording – a WhatsApp voice note, an interview, a lecture – or paste a link.

02

Get your transcript

The audio comes back as timestamped Devanagari text, with the English words people slip in left intact.

03

Edit and export

Fix any name or term inline, then export to TXT, Markdown, DOCX, PDF, SRT, VTT, or JSON.

Almost no one speaks Hindi in a lab-clean form. A sentence starts in Hindi, picks up an English noun halfway through, and lands on a phrase carried over from Bhojpuri or Punjabi – and that's before you get to the WhatsApp voice notes that run half of India's daily conversation. Pepys is tuned for that reality: upload an interview, a classroom recording, a podcast, or a forwarded voice note, and it comes back as accurate Devanagari text you can search, quote, and translate.

The thing that breaks ordinary speech engines on Hindi is the constant switch between Hindi and English mid-sentence – "meeting" instead of बैठक, "actually" dropped into a perfectly Hindi thought. Pepys keeps both languages where the speaker put them instead of forcing everything into one. Hindi is auto-detected among 99+ languages, 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

Hindi audio to text – questions, answered

How do I convert Hindi audio to text?

Upload your Hindi recording or paste a link on this page – the first 60 minutes are free, no card. Pepys writes it out as timestamped Devanagari text in minutes, ready to edit and export.

Does it cope with Hinglish and regional accents?

Yes – that's the whole point. It follows sentences that swap between Hindi and English and handles the regional flavours of spoken Hindi, and you can correct any word inline before exporting.

What actually makes Hindi hard to transcribe?

The code-switching. People drop English words into Hindi sentences constantly, and generic models guess wrong on one side or the other. Pepys is built for mixed speech, then leaves the editing in your hands for the final pass.

Will the transcript be in Devanagari?

Yes – Hindi comes out in Devanagari script by default, with the English words speakers use left in Roman. You can edit any of it inline.

Is my Hindi audio private?

Yes. We never train AI on your audio or transcripts, and you can auto-delete your files after processing.
