How do I translate audio to English?

To translate audio to English, upload a file or paste a link to Pepys: it transcribes the speech, auto-detecting the source among 99+ languages, then renders the timestamped transcript into readable English in minutes. Every line stays pinned to the original audio. Your first 60 minutes are free, no card.

How translate audio to english works

01

Upload or paste a link

Drop in a recording in any language or paste a link – the spoken language is detected for you.

02

Transcribe, then translate

Pepys transcribes the speech with timestamps, then translates the transcript into English in minutes.

03

Read and export

Read the English, edit inline, then export to TXT, Markdown, DOCX, PDF, SRT, VTT, or JSON.

A recording you can't follow is dead weight – a Spanish interview, a Mandarin earnings call, a clip in a script you don't read. Pepys collapses two jobs into one: upload the file or paste a link and get back clean, readable English, with none of the transcribe-it-here, paste-it-into-a-translator-there shuffle.

Because the English is built from a full, timestamped transcript, every sentence stays pinned to the second it was spoken – so you can spot-check a phrase against the original audio or jump straight to the moment. The source language is detected automatically across 99+, 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

Translate audio to english – questions, answered

How do I translate audio to English?

Upload your file or paste a link on this page. Pepys transcribes the speech, then translates the transcript into English, timestamped and ready in minutes. Your first 60 minutes are free, no card.

Does it matter what language was spoken?

No – the source is auto-detected across 99+ languages, so a French, Arabic, or Korean recording all come back as a clean English transcript with no setup.

Can I keep the original-language transcript too?

Yes. Pepys transcribes the speech first, so you get the source-language transcript and the English version side by side and can compare them line by line.

Can I export the English as subtitles?

Yes – export it as an SRT or VTT subtitle file with correct timestamps, or as TXT, Markdown, DOCX, PDF, or JSON.

Do you train on my audio?

Never. We don't train AI on your audio, transcripts, or translations, and you can auto-delete your files after processing.
