How do you transcribe a OneDrive file?

How OneDrive transcription works
Copy the file link
Open the audio or video file in OneDrive and copy its link.
Paste it into Pepys
Paste the link here and connect the Microsoft account that has access to the file.
Review and export
Edit the transcript, rename speakers, and export it as TXT, Markdown, DOCX, PDF, SRT, VTT, or JSON.
A recording in OneDrive should not need to be downloaded and uploaded again before you can transcribe it. Copy the file link, paste it into Pepys, and authorize the Microsoft account that can open it.
Pepys validates access to the selected file, imports the recording, detects the spoken language, and adds timestamps. You can clean up the text, label speakers, use the AI summary, and export the finished transcript.
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

OneDrive transcription – questions, answered
How do I transcribe a OneDrive file?
Copy the link to an individual audio or video file in OneDrive, paste it on this page, and select Transcribe. Pepys asks you to connect the Microsoft account that can access the file.
Which Microsoft account should I connect?
Connect the Microsoft account that can open the linked file. If the file belongs to another account or organization, that account must grant access before Pepys can import it.
Can I paste a OneDrive folder link?
Not yet. Paste a link to one audio or video file. Signed-in users can also choose files with the OneDrive browser in the Pepys uploader.
Which OneDrive files can Pepys transcribe?
Most common audio and video formats work, including MP3, M4A, WAV, MP4, and MOV. The connected Microsoft account must be able to access the file.
