How podcast summarizer works

Paste a public episode or RSS link, or upload the audio file – any length works.
Get your AI summary
AI transcribes the episode and writes a concise summary with the key takeaways in minutes.
Read or dig in
Skim the summary, ask follow-up questions in chat, or export the summary and transcript to TXT, Markdown, DOCX, or PDF.
A two-hour interview podcast holds maybe ten minutes of stuff you'll remember. Pepys finds them for you: paste an episode link or upload the file and get a clear summary plus the key takeaways – the arguments, the recommendations, the moments worth quoting – so you can absorb an episode in the time it takes to make coffee.
The summary stays honest because it's built on a full, timestamped, speaker-labeled transcript, so every takeaway links back to where it was said. Ask built-in chat to go deeper on a segment, work across 99+ languages, and know we never train on your audio. Pay only for what you summarize; 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

Podcast summarizer – questions, answered
How do I summarize a podcast episode?
Paste a public episode or RSS link on this page, or upload the audio file. Pepys transcribes it and writes a concise summary with key takeaways in minutes – your first 60 minutes are free, no card required.
Which podcasts work?
Paste a public episode or RSS feed link and Pepys fetches that episode to summarize it – it reads the public audio, it doesn't rehost the show. For anything else, upload the file directly.
How long can the episode be?
There's no length limit – a 20-minute episode or a three-hour marathon both work. Long files are chunked and stitched automatically, and longer episodes just use more free minutes or credits.
Can I summarize a podcast in another language?
Yes. Pepys auto-detects 99+ languages and summarizes in the spoken language, and you can translate the finished summary afterward.
Do you train on the audio?
Never. We don't train AI on the audio, transcripts, or summaries, and you can auto-delete uploaded files after processing.
