Around 65 million people speak Italian, and almost none of them sound like a textbook. The standard rests on Tuscan and Florentine, but step outside it and you hit a whole spectrum – the clipped vowels of Milan, the music of Naples, the consonant-heavy roll of Sicily, the relaxed Romanesco of a Roman bar. Pepys is tuned for that range, so an interview, a lecture, a podcast, or a long WhatsApp voice note comes back as accurate, timestamped text you can search, quote, and translate.
Italian moves fast, and that is exactly where generic models slip: speakers elide vowels, stack clitics into a single rushed word, and talk straight over each other. Pepys is built to keep up and to keep the speakers apart. Students in Italy even have a verb for the grind of writing up lectures – sbobinare – and this is the unglamorous part done for you. Italian 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

Italian audio to text – questions, answered
How do I turn Italian audio into text?
Drop your Italian recording on this page or paste a link – the first 60 minutes are free, no card. Pepys returns clean, timestamped Italian text in minutes.
Will it cope with dialects and strong regional accents?
Yes. It is tuned for standard Italian and for heavy regional speech – from Milanese to Sicilian – and any name or term you want to correct is a quick inline edit away.
Why is Italian tricky to transcribe?
It is spoken quickly, with elided vowels, run-together clitics, and a lot of talking over one another. Pepys is built for that pace and overlap, and leaves everything editable so you can polish the final text.
What can I export?
TXT, Markdown, DOCX, PDF, SRT, VTT, or JSON – timestamps kept intact in every format.
Is my Italian audio kept private?
