A raw transcript of an interview is a wall of text – every speaker change buried mid-paragraph, the interviewer's questions tangled into the subject's answers. Pepys formats it for you: upload the recording or paste a link, and you get a clean Q&A transcript where each speaker's turns are labeled, grouped, and ordered, so the conversation reads the way it happened.
That structure is what makes an interview usable – pulling a pull-quote, writing up a profile, or coding qualitative research all start with knowing exactly who said what. Every transcript carries timestamps and an AI summary, works in 99+ languages, and we never train on your audio. Pay only for the minutes you transcribe; credits never expire.

Interview transcript formatter – questions, answered
How do I format an interview into a Q&A transcript?
Upload the interview recording or paste a link on this page. Pepys transcribes it and groups the dialogue by speaker into clean question-and-answer turns in minutes – your first 60 minutes are free, no card required.
Will it tell the interviewer and interviewee apart?
Yes – transcripts come speaker-labeled (Speaker 1, Speaker 2…) so questions and answers are grouped separately. You can rename speakers inline to the actual names before exporting.
Can I export it to Word?
Yes – export the formatted Q&A to DOCX, TXT, SRT, VTT, or JSON. The speaker grouping and timestamps carry through, so it's ready to edit or hand off.
Does it work for a multi-person interview?
Yes – it labels each distinct speaker per chunk, so panels and group interviews stay readable. Long recordings are chunked and stitched automatically with correct timestamps.
Can I format an interview in another language?
Yes – language is auto-detected across 99+ languages, and you can translate the finished Q&A transcript into another language afterward.
