How transcript summarizer works
Paste your transcript
Drop in the transcript text – or upload the recording and Pepys transcribes it for you first.
Get your summary
AI reads the whole thing and writes a concise summary with key points and action items in minutes.
Refine and export
Ask follow-up questions in chat, then export the summary to TXT, Markdown, DOCX, or PDF.
A long transcript is searchable but still slow to read. Pepys does the reading for you: paste the text and get back the gist, the decisions, and the action items – so a forty-page interview or a sprawling call log collapses into a few lines you can actually use.
Already have the audio instead of the text? Upload it and Pepys transcribes first, then summarizes – same result, one step. Either way it works in 99+ languages, we never train on your transcripts, and you pay only for what you summarize; 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 summarizer – questions, answered
How do I summarize a transcript?
Paste your transcript on this page and Pepys returns a concise summary with key points and action items in minutes. No transcript yet? Upload the recording and it transcribes first. Your first 60 minutes are free, no card.
Do I have to upload audio, or can I paste text I already have?
Either works. Paste a transcript straight in to summarize it instantly, or upload an audio/video file (or paste a link) and Pepys transcribes it before summarizing.
How long can the transcript be?
There's no practical length limit – summarize a short call note or a multi-hour panel. Longer text simply uses more of your free minutes or credits, which never expire.
Can I summarize a transcript in another language?
Yes. Pepys auto-detects 99+ languages and summarizes in the language of the transcript, and you can translate the summary afterward.
Do you train on my transcript?
Never. We don't train AI on your transcripts, audio, or summaries, and you can auto-delete your files after processing.
