How do I convert Portuguese audio to text?
Upload a Portuguese recording or paste a link, and Pepys turns the speech into a clean, timestamped transcript in minutes. It follows Brazilian (pt-BR) and European (pt-PT) Portuguese, where the same word can sound very different – think the swallowed vowels of Lisbon versus the open, sing-song cadence of São Paulo – and the nasal sounds in words like "coração" and "não". Portuguese is auto-detected among 99+ languages, and your first 60 minutes are free, no card.

Around 260 million people speak Portuguese, and they do not all speak it alike. A Brazilian voice note, a lecture recorded in Lisbon, and a news clip from Luanda land in three different rhythms: Brazilian Portuguese opens its vowels and leans hard on the gerund ("tô falando"), while European Portuguese clips and reduces them until whole syllables nearly vanish. Pepys is tuned for both pt-BR and pt-PT, so an interview, a class, a sermon, or a quick voice memo comes back as accurate, timestamped text you can search, quote, and translate.
The thing that throws generic speech models off is exactly that distance between how Brazil and Portugal pronounce the same written word – plus the nasal vowels ("ão", "ões", "mãe") that don't exist in most languages. Pepys was built to hear them. And it matters: Brazil is one of the planet's biggest markets for podcasts and voice messaging, so there is no shortage of Portuguese audio that needs to become text. Portuguese 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
RawReads both Brazilian (pt-BR) and European (pt-PT) Portuguese – the open Brazilian vowels and the clipped Lisbon ones alike

Portuguese audio to text – questions, answered
How do I convert Portuguese audio to text?
Upload your Portuguese recording or paste a link on this page – the first 60 minutes are free, no card. Pepys returns clean, timestamped Portuguese text in minutes, ready to edit and export.
Does it handle Brazilian and European Portuguese?
Yes. Pepys follows both pt-BR and pt-PT, which split on vocabulary, vowel sounds, and the heavy syllable reduction you hear in European speech. It also copes with African varieties from Angola and Mozambique, and you can correct any term inline before exporting.
What makes Portuguese hard to transcribe?
Two things: the wide gap between Brazilian and European pronunciation of the same word, and the nasal vowels in sounds like "ão" and "ões" that trip up models trained mostly on English. Pepys is built for both – and anything it misses, you fix inline.
What can I export?
TXT, Markdown, DOCX, PDF, SRT, VTT, or JSON, with the timestamps kept intact.
Is my Portuguese audio private?
Yes. We never train AI on your audio or transcripts, and you can set files to auto-delete after processing.
