How transcript paragraph formatter works
Upload audio or paste a link
Drop in a recording or paste a link – any format, any language, no length limit.
Get paragraphed text
AI transcribes the audio and groups it into paragraphs around natural topic shifts and pauses.
Review and export
Adjust any break inline, keep the timestamps for reference, then export to TXT, Markdown, DOCX, or PDF.
A transcript that's one unbroken block – or chopped into a thousand tiny per-line fragments – is exhausting to read. Pepys gives it shape: upload the audio or paste a link and the text comes back grouped into proper paragraphs that break where the topic or the speaker's train of thought actually shifts, so you can skim it like an article instead of decoding a transcript.
Paragraphing is a same-language text pass that reorganizes the existing words into readable blocks – it doesn't reword, summarize, or translate. The timestamps stay attached so you can still jump to any moment in the audio. It works in 99+ languages, we never train on your audio, and you pay only for what you transcribe; 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

Transcript paragraph formatter – questions, answered
How do I break a transcript into paragraphs?
Upload your audio or paste a link on this page. Pepys transcribes it and runs an AI pass that groups the text into clean paragraphs around natural topic shifts. Your first 60 minutes are free, no card required.
Does paragraphing change the words?
No. It's a same-language pass that regroups the existing text into readable blocks – it doesn't reword, summarize, or translate. The timestamps stay attached so you can check the audio.
How does it decide where paragraphs break?
Breaks fall at natural topic shifts, pauses, and speaker changes. You can move any break inline if you'd prefer a different grouping before you export.
Does it work in other languages?
Yes – language is auto-detected across 99+ languages, and paragraphing is applied in the same language the speech was in.
Do you keep my audio?
Only as long as needed to process it, and you can auto-delete it after. We never train AI on your audio or transcripts.
