How do I transcribe a meeting recording?

To transcribe a meeting, upload the recording to Pepys and it returns an accurate, speaker-labeled, timestamped transcript in minutes, in 99+ languages, with an AI summary and action items built in – no matter which app the meeting was recorded in. Your first 60 minutes are free, no card required.

How meeting transcription works

01

Upload the recording

Drop in your meeting file from any app – Zoom, Teams, Meet, or a phone recording.

02

Get the transcript

AI transcribes the whole meeting into speaker-labeled, timestamped text in minutes.

03

Summarize and export

Read the AI summary and action items, edit inline, then export to TXT, Markdown, DOCX, PDF, SRT, or VTT.

Every meeting tool records differently, but they all leave you with a file and no easy way to read it. Pepys takes that file from any app and turns the whole meeting into accurate, speaker-labeled text in minutes – so you can search the discussion, quote a decision, and share what happened without making anyone sit through the replay.

Each transcript is timestamped and comes with an AI summary – the decisions, the open questions, and the action items – plus built-in chat so you can ask "what did we agree on?" and jump to the moment. It works in 99+ languages, we never train on your audio, and you pay only for the minutes 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

Meeting transcription – questions, answered

How do I transcribe a meeting recording?

Upload the recording on this page – from any meeting app or a phone – and Pepys returns a speaker-labeled, timestamped transcript in minutes. Your first 60 minutes are free, no card required.

Does it matter which app recorded the meeting?

No. Pepys works from the recording file itself, so a Zoom, Teams, Meet, or phone recording all transcribe the same way – no particular plan or built-in transcription needed.

Will it label each speaker?

Yes – transcripts come speaker-labeled with timestamps, so you can follow who said what across the whole meeting and jump straight to any moment.

Do I get a summary and action items?

Yes. Every meeting transcript includes an AI summary with key decisions and action items, plus built-in chat – so an hour-long call becomes a shareable recap in seconds.

Is my meeting kept private?

Yes. We never train AI on your audio, transcripts, or summaries, and you can auto-delete the recording after processing.
