Roughly 45 million people speak Polish, and most of them sound broadly the same: spoken Polish is remarkably uniform, so a Warsaw newsroom, a Kraków lecture hall, and a Gdańsk podcast all land cleanly. Where you do hear colour – the soft highlander góralski of the Tatras, Silesian on the factory floor, the lilt of Greater Poland – Pepys still tracks the words. Upload an interview, a wykład, a long voice note, or a meeting, and you get back accurate, timestamped text you can search, quote, and translate.

What actually breaks generic speech models on Polish isn't the accent – it's the grammar and the spelling. Seven cases reshape nearly every noun and adjective, perfective and imperfective verbs pair off, and the orthography is dense with consonant runs and digraphs (sz, cz, dż, ść, źdź) plus nine diacritical letters. Get one of those wrong and the word is wrong. Pepys is tuned to declined Polish and renders the full character set, so transkrypcja comes out readable, not phonetic guesswork. Polish is auto-detected among 99+ languages, your first 60 minutes are free, credits never expire, and we never train on your audio.

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

Polish audio to text – questions, answered

How do I turn Polish audio into text?

Upload your Polish recording or paste a link on this page – the first 60 minutes are free, no card. Pepys writes it out as clean, timestamped Polish text, diacritics and all, in minutes.

Will it spell the Polish characters correctly?

Yes. The ogonek and accented letters – ą, ę, ó, ż, ź, ć, ń, ś, ł – and digraphs like sz, cz and ść come out properly, and you can fix any spelling inline before exporting.

Does it cope with regional speech, like Silesian or góralski?

Standard Polish is its strongest ground, and it tracks regional accents well too. Anything off – a dialect word, a place name – you can correct in seconds in the editor.

Why is Polish considered hard to transcribe?

The grammar more than the sound: seven cases redeclining most words, perfective/imperfective verb pairs, and a dense orthography full of consonant clusters and diacritics. Pepys is built for declined Polish, then lets you tidy anything by hand.

Is my Polish audio kept private?

Yes. We never train AI on your audio or transcripts, and you can auto-delete your files after processing.
