How key points extractor works
Upload a file or paste a link
Drop in any recording or paste a link – any format, any language, no length limit.
Get the key points
AI transcribes the audio, then pulls out the main takeaways, decisions, and action items in minutes.
Refine and export
Ask follow-ups in chat, jump to any point in the transcript, then export the points and transcript to TXT, Markdown, DOCX, or PDF.
Most of a recording is connective tissue – the value is the handful of points that change what you do next. Pepys pulls them out: upload any audio or video or paste a link and get the takeaways, the decisions, and the action items as a clean, skimmable list, so you can absorb a long meeting, lecture, or interview in the time it takes to read a page.
Every point is grounded in a full, timestamped transcript, so it's not guesswork – click a takeaway and land on the moment it came from. It works across 99+ languages, you can ask follow-up questions in built-in chat to dig deeper, 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

Key points extractor – questions, answered
How do I extract the key points from a recording?
Upload your audio or video file or paste a link on this page. Pepys transcribes it and pulls out the key points and action items in minutes. Your first 60 minutes are free, no card required.
What's the difference between key points and a summary?
Key points are the discrete takeaways and action items as a list; a summary is a short narrative recap. Pepys gives you both, plus the full transcript so you can drill into any point.
How long can the recording be?
There's no length limit – pull points from a five-minute memo or a three-hour panel. Long files are chunked and stitched automatically, using more of your free minutes or credits, which never expire.
Does it work in other languages?
Yes – language is auto-detected across 99+ languages, and you can translate the finished points and transcript into another language afterward.
Do you train on my audio?
Never. We don't train AI on your audio, transcripts, or extracted points, and you can auto-delete your files after processing.
