Around 70 million people speak Thai, and a recording rarely arrives in textbook form – a podcast host slides between formal and street Thai, an interviewee from Khon Kaen colours their Central Thai with Isan, a monk's dhamma talk runs slow and measured. Pepys is tuned for Central (standard) Thai and writes any of it out as accurate, timestamped text you can search, quote, and translate. Feed it an interview, a lecture, a phone memo, a livestream rip – it comes back readable.
The thing that breaks ordinary speech tools on Thai is that the script runs words together with no spaces and rides on five contrastive tones, so มา, ม้า and หมา are three different words that an English-trained model flattens into one guess. Pepys is built to segment the stream and hold the tones apart – the work Thai speakers call แกะเทป, literally peeling the tape. Thai 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

Thai audio to text – questions, answered
How do I turn Thai audio into text?
Upload your Thai file or paste a link on this page – the first 60 minutes are free, no card. Pepys writes it out as clean, timestamped Thai in minutes, with the word breaks already inserted.
What about Isan or Northern accents in the recording?
Pepys is tuned for Central (standard) Thai and handles speakers whose accent leans toward Isan or Kham Mueang reasonably well; anything regional that comes out off is a quick inline fix before you export.
Why is Thai so hard to transcribe?
Two reasons: the script writes words with no spaces between them, so the model has to decide where one word ends and the next begins, and Thai is tonal – the same syllable means different things across its five tones. Pepys handles both, and you can correct anything inline afterward.
What can I export?
TXT, Markdown, DOCX, PDF, SRT, VTT, or JSON, with timestamps preserved throughout.
Is my Thai audio kept private?
Yes. We never train AI on your audio or transcripts, and you can set files to auto-delete once processing is done.
