How do I extract the best quotes from audio or video?

To extract the best quotes, upload any audio or video to Pepys or paste a link, and AI pulls the standout lines from a full, timestamped, speaker-labeled transcript, in 99+ languages. Each quote links to the moment it was said, so you can copy it and verify it instantly. Your first 60 minutes are free, no card required.

How quote extractor works

01

Add audio or paste a link

Upload any recording or paste a link – interview, talk, panel, or podcast, any length.

02

Extract the quotes

AI transcribes the audio and pulls out the strongest, most quotable lines with timestamps and speakers.

03

Verify and copy

Click a quote to jump to its timestamp in the transcript, copy it word for word, or ask chat for more.

Whether it's an interview, a keynote, a panel, or a webinar, the lines worth quoting are scattered across the whole recording. Pepys finds them: upload the file or paste a link and AI extracts the standout quotes, each pinned to the speaker and the timestamp where it was said, so you walk away with a usable shortlist instead of an hour of scrubbing.

Every quote rests on a full, timestamped, speaker-labeled transcript, so you can click to the exact moment and confirm the wording before it goes in an article, a deck, or a clip. Ask built-in chat for quotes on a specific point, work across 99+ languages, and know we never train on your audio. Pay only for what you process; 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

Quote extractor – questions, answered

How do I extract the best quotes from audio or video?

Upload the file on this page or paste a link. Pepys transcribes it and pulls the standout lines with timestamps and speaker labels in minutes – your first 60 minutes are free, no card required.

Are the extracted quotes accurate?

Yes – each quote links back to the timestamp in a full transcript where it was said, so you can jump to its timestamp in the transcript and confirm the wording before you use it.

Can I extract quotes on a specific topic?

Yes. Ask the built-in chat for quotes on a point and Pepys returns the matching lines with timestamps you can jump to, instead of replaying the whole recording.

Does it work for video, not just audio?

Yes – upload a video file or paste a link and Pepys transcribes the spoken audio, then extracts the same quotes, attributed and timestamped, across 99+ languages.

Do you train on my recording?

Never. We don't train AI on your audio, transcripts, or quotes, and you can auto-delete uploaded files after processing.
