How mts to text works
Upload your MTS/M2TS
Copy the .mts or .m2ts file off your camcorder or SD card and drop it in – we extract the audio for you.
Get your transcript
AI transcribes the AVCHD recording into speaker-labeled text with timestamps in minutes.
Edit and export
Fix anything inline, then export to TXT, Markdown, DOCX, PDF, SRT, VTT, or JSON.
MTS and M2TS are the AVCHD files your camcorder writes to the SD card, and most apps choke on them or insist you convert first. Pepys takes the file exactly as it comes off the camera: upload it and it decodes the audio and hands back the whole recording as searchable, speaker-labeled text.
Whether it's an event you filmed, an interview, or hours of family footage, you get timestamps and an AI summary so you can find the moment that matters fast. It works in 99+ languages, auto-detected, 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
