How interview summarizer works

01

Upload the interview or paste a link

Drop in your recorded interview or paste a link – any format, any language, no length limit.

02

Get your AI summary

AI transcribes the interview, then writes a concise summary with the key points and quotes in minutes.

03

Read, dig in, or export

Skim the summary, ask follow-up questions in chat, then export the summary and transcript to TXT, Markdown, DOCX, or PDF.

A good interview can run an hour, but the value is usually a handful of moments. Pepys finds them: upload the recording or paste a link and get a clear summary, the main points, and the lines worth quoting – so you can grasp a long conversation in two minutes instead of replaying it end to end.

The summary stays honest because it sits on top of a full, speaker-labeled, timestamped transcript – click any point and land on the exact spot it was said. It works in 99+ languages, you can ask follow-up questions in built-in chat, and we never train on your audio. Pay only for what you summarize; 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

Interview summarizer – questions, answered

How do I summarize an interview recording?

Upload the interview file or paste a link on this page. Pepys transcribes it and writes a concise summary with key points in minutes. Your first 60 minutes are free, no card required.

How long can the interview be?

There's no length limit – summarize a ten-minute chat or a two-hour interview. Longer recordings are chunked and stitched automatically and just use more of your free minutes or credits, which never expire.

Does the summary keep track of who said what?

Yes. The transcript underneath is speaker-labeled with timestamps, so the summary attributes points to the right person and you can jump to any moment to check it.

Can I summarize an interview in another language?

Yes – language is auto-detected across 99+ languages, and you can translate the finished summary and transcript into another language.

Do you train on my interview?

Never. We don't train AI on your audio, transcripts, or summaries, and you can auto-delete your files after processing.
