Transcribe one podcast episode – or the whole backlog
Paste a Spotify, Apple Podcasts, RSS, or episode link. Start with one recording, then process a season together when the backlog is waiting.
Accepts a podcast episode or RSS feed link (or upload the audio file) · returns a clean, timestamped, speaker-labeled transcript with an AI summary.

How do I get a transcript of a podcast episode?
To transcribe a podcast, paste a Spotify, Apple Podcasts, RSS, or episode link into Pepys. It returns speaker-labeled, timestamped text with a summary and show notes. Start with one episode or use batch processing for a season or backlog. Your first 60 minutes are free; after that, pay only for the hours you process.
How podcast transcript works
Paste the episode link
Drop in the episode page, RSS feed, or direct audio URL – or upload the file you have.
Get the transcript
Pepys fetches the episode and transcribes it into clean, speaker-labeled text with timestamps in minutes.
Read or export
Read the summary and show notes, edit inline, or export to TXT, Markdown, DOCX, PDF, SRT, VTT, or JSON.
A great two-hour episode is hard to cite, search, or repurpose while it is still just audio. A whole season is worse: every episode needs the same transcript, show notes, quotes, and exports. Paste the episode or feed link and Pepys turns the recording into speaker-labeled text you can search instead of scrubbing the player.
Start with one episode, or unlock batch processing with any purchase and work through the backlog together. Every transcript includes an AI summary and show-notes-ready key points. Pepys supports 99+ languages, handles long episodes automatically, never trains on your audio, and keeps purchased credits ready between seasons.
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 transcript – questions, answered
How do I get a transcript of a podcast episode?
Paste the episode link on this page – or the RSS feed, or the audio file – and Pepys transcribes it into clean, speaker-labeled text with timestamps in minutes. A free account is required before transcription.
What can I paste in?
An episode page link, a show's RSS feed, or a direct audio URL. If you'd rather, upload the episode file directly and Pepys transcribes it the same way.
Will it tell the hosts apart?
Yes – transcripts come speaker-labeled with timestamps, so a two-host show or an interview is easy to follow and quote line by line.
Can I transcribe a podcast in another language?
Yes – language is auto-detected across 99+ languages, and you can translate the finished transcript into another language.
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 split and stitched automatically, and credits never expire.
Can I transcribe a whole podcast backlog?
Yes. Any purchase unlocks batch processing, so you can submit multiple episode links together instead of repeating the workflow one at a time. Each episode remains its own transcript and export.
