How do I transcribe a sermon?
Upload a full sermon or a short social clip and Pepys returns timestamped text with an AI summary. Export captions, pull quotes for posts, publish the written message, or build a searchable sermon archive over time. Your first 60 minutes are free; after that it is pay as you go, with no subscription to maintain between services.
How sermon transcription works
Upload the recording
Drop in the sermon audio or video – any format, any length, no install.
Transcribe the message
AI transcribes the full sermon into accurate, timestamped text, ready in minutes.
Study or publish
Read the AI summary, ask questions in chat, then export to TXT, Markdown, DOCX, PDF, SRT, or VTT.
A weekly sermon quickly becomes both an archive and a publishing backlog. The full message needs searchable text, while Instagram and Facebook clips need captions, summaries, and quotable lines. Upload either one and Pepys gives the spoken words a reusable home instead of leaving them locked inside the recording.
Every transcript includes timestamps, an AI summary, and built-in chat. Export SRT or VTT for video, DOCX or Markdown for the website, and searchable text for the archive. It works in 99+ languages, there is no subscription, credits never expire, and the recording is never used to train a model.
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

Sermon transcription – questions, answered
How do I transcribe a sermon?
Upload the sermon recording on this page and Pepys returns an accurate, timestamped transcript in minutes. Your first 60 minutes are free, no card required.
Is it really free?
Your first 60 minutes are free with a free account, no card. After that it's pay-as-you-go with no subscription, and credits never expire – so you only pay for the sermons you transcribe.
Can I build a searchable sermon library?
Yes. Each transcript is full, searchable text with timestamps, so a season of messages becomes a library you can search by topic, phrase, or scripture and revisit any time.
Can I get a summary or study notes?
Yes. Every sermon includes an AI summary, and built-in chat lets you ask for the main points or draft a study guide from the message.
Does it handle non-English sermons?
Yes – language is auto-detected across 99+ languages, and you can translate the finished transcript into another language afterward.
