How do I convert a transcript to Markdown?
To get a transcript in Markdown, upload a recording or paste a link to Pepys and it transcribes the audio, then exports a clean .md file with speaker headings and timestamps. Drop it into Obsidian, Notion, a wiki, or a Git repo, in any of 99+ languages. Your first 60 minutes are free, no card required.
How transcript to markdown works
Upload audio or paste a link
Drop in a recording or paste a link – we extract the audio for you.
Get your transcript
AI transcribes it into clean, speaker-labeled text with timestamps in minutes.
Export to Markdown
Download a tidy .md file with speaker headings and timestamps – or export TXT, Markdown, DOCX, PDF, SRT, VTT, or JSON.
A .md export drops the transcript straight into your notes or repo: each speaker turn becomes a heading, every turn carries its timestamp, and there's no formatting to clean up. Pepys transcribes your audio or link and lays the Markdown out ready to commit or paste into Obsidian, Notion, a wiki, or a static-site post.
Writers turn a recorded conversation into a draft, engineers archive a design call next to the code, and students fold a lecture into their knowledge base. It works in 99+ auto-detected languages, ships with an AI summary you can keep at the top, and we never train on your audio. Pay only for what you transcribe; credits never expire.
What the Markdown looks like

Clean .md – speaker headings and per-turn timestamps, ready for Obsidian, Notion, or a repo
No cleanup – the Markdown is laid out and ready to commit or publish
AI summary included, so you can keep the takeaways at the top of the file

Transcript to markdown – questions, answered
How do I convert a transcript to Markdown?
Upload a recording or paste a link on this page – the first 60 minutes are free, no card. Pepys transcribes it and lets you download a clean .md file with speaker headings and timestamps.
How is the Markdown formatted?
Speakers become headings and each turn is laid out with its timestamp, so the file reads well in any Markdown viewer and slots into a notes app or repo without reformatting.
Can I edit it before exporting?
Yes – fix names, punctuation, or wording inline in Pepys first, then download the cleaned-up Markdown. The same transcript also exports to TXT, Markdown, DOCX, PDF, SRT, VTT, or JSON.
Does it work for other languages and multiple speakers?
Yes. Language is auto-detected across 99+ languages and transcripts come speaker-labeled – you can also translate the finished transcript before exporting.
