How interview notes generator works
Upload the interview or paste a link
Drop in your recorded interview or paste a link – any format, any language, no length limit.
Get your notes
AI transcribes the interview, then pulls out themes, quotes, and takeaways as ready-to-use notes in minutes.
Refine and export
Ask follow-ups in chat, jump to any quote in the transcript, then export the notes and transcript to TXT, Markdown, DOCX, or PDF.
After an interview, the work is in the write-up – replaying the recording, hunting for the line someone said, and shaping a page of raw talk into something you can use. Pepys does that pass for you: upload the recording or paste a link and get back organized notes with the themes, the strongest quotes, and the takeaways, pulled straight from what was actually said.
Nothing is invented – every note is grounded in a full, speaker-labeled, timestamped transcript, so you can click a quote and land on the exact moment to check the context. It works across 99+ languages, you can ask follow-up questions in built-in chat, and we never train on your audio. Pay only for what 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
