MP3 is the most common format for recordings, podcasts, and voice notes – but an MP3 you can't search or quote isn't much use. Pepys turns it into text in minutes: upload the file and get back an accurate, speaker-labeled transcript.
There's no software to install and no subscription. Your first 60 minutes are free, you pay only for what you transcribe, 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
