How do I transcribe a Korean video?

Point Pepys at a Korean video, by upload or by link, and it lifts the audio, writes the speech out as timestamped Hangul, and exports SRT or VTT subtitles – typically in minutes. It tracks honorific shifts and fast on-camera speech, and auto-detects Korean automatically. Your first 60 minutes are free, no card.

How transcribe korean video works

01

Add your Korean video

Upload the file or paste a link – Pepys strips the audio track for you.

02

Get transcript and subtitles

The Korean speech comes back as timestamped Hangul plus matching caption cues.

03

Export

Grab a transcript (TXT, Markdown, DOCX, PDF, SRT, VTT, or JSON) or a clean SRT/VTT subtitle file with the timing already set.

From a vlog to a webinar to a drama clip, Korean video tends to move fast – jump cuts, overlapping banter, speakers who switch from polite 해요체 to blunt 반말 the moment the mood shifts. Pepys takes the whole thing, separates the audio, and gives you back accurate, timestamped Hangul plus an SRT or VTT file you can drop straight onto the footage. No re-listening with your finger on the scrubber, no guessing where a line landed on the timeline.

Most captioning tools choke on the parts that make Korean speech Korean: contracted casual delivery, Konglish loanwords sprinkled through a sentence, regional satoori, and 띄어쓰기 spacing that has to be right for the line to make sense. Pepys is built for that, which is why creators and course teams use it to caption interviews, lectures, and social clips. Korean is auto-detected among 99+ languages, your first 60 minutes are free, credits never expire, and we never train on your video.

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
