How interview transcription works

Get a diarized transcript
AI separates the speakers and transcribes the interview into timestamped text in minutes.
Summarize and export
Read the interview summary, pull quotes, edit inline, then export to TXT, Markdown, DOCX, PDF, SRT, or VTT.
An interview is only useful once you can read it back – and reading a two-person conversation means knowing who said what. Pepys diarizes as it transcribes, labelling each speaker so the back-and-forth stays clear, then hands you a timestamped transcript you can search, quote, and cite without replaying a thing.
An interview-tuned summary pulls out the themes, the strongest quotes, and the threads worth following up, and built-in chat lets you ask the transcript questions directly. It works in 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

Interview transcription – questions, answered
How do I transcribe an interview?
Upload your interview recording or paste a supported link on this page – the first 60 minutes are free, no card. Pepys separates the speakers and returns a timestamped, speaker-labeled transcript in minutes.
How does the speaker labeling work?
Pepys diarizes each chunk and labels turns as Speaker 1, Speaker 2, and so on. It separates voices by turn rather than identifying anyone by name, so you can relabel them to the real names as you review.
What does the interview summary include?
It surfaces the main themes, the strongest quotes, and the open threads worth following up – so you can plan the write-up before reading the full transcript, then drill in where you need detail.
Can I transcribe an interview in another language?
Yes – language is auto-detected across 99+ languages, and you can translate the finished transcript into another language afterward.
Is my interview private?
Yes. We never train AI on your audio, transcripts, or summaries, and you can auto-delete your files after processing.
