How mpeg to text works
Upload your MPEG/MPG
Drop in the .mpeg or .mpg file – we decode and extract the audio for you.
Get your transcript
AI transcribes the file into speaker-labeled text with timestamps in minutes.
Edit and export
Edit anything inline, then export to TXT, Markdown, DOCX, PDF, SRT, VTT, or JSON.
MPEG and MPG are older container formats that many apps and players struggle to open, let alone caption. Pepys handles the decoding for you: upload the file as-is and it pulls the audio out and turns the whole thing into searchable, speaker-labeled text – no codec packs, no converting it to MP4 first.
It works equally well on an MPEG video clip or an MPG recording, in 99+ languages that are auto-detected. Every transcript comes with timestamps and an AI summary, 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
RawReads MPEG and MPG directly – no codec packs or converting to MP4 first
Speaker labels and timestamps so you can follow who said what, when
AI summary and built-in chat – skim a long clip without replaying it

Mpeg to text – questions, answered
How do I convert an MPEG file to text?
Upload your .mpeg or .mpg file on this page and Pepys decodes the audio and transcribes it into clean, timestamped text in minutes. Your first 60 minutes are free, no card required.
Do MPG and MPEG both work?
Yes – both extensions point to the same MPEG family, and Pepys handles either without any conversion. Just upload the file and it sorts out the rest.
Do I need to convert it to MP4 first?
No. Pepys reads the MPEG container directly and pulls the audio out for you, so there's no need to re-encode the file before uploading.
Can I transcribe an MPEG in another language?
Yes – the spoken language is auto-detected across 99+ languages, and you can translate the finished transcript into another language.
