How do I convert a TS file to text?
To convert a TS file to text, upload the .ts MPEG transport stream to Pepys and it reads the audio and writes a clean, timestamped, speaker-labeled transcript in minutes, in 99+ languages, with an AI summary built in. No remuxing or converting first. Your first 60 minutes are free, no card required.
How ts to text works
Upload your .ts file
Drop in the transport stream – Pepys reads the audio inside it natively, so there's nothing to remux first.
Get your transcript
AI transcribes the speech into clean, speaker-labeled text with timestamps, ready in minutes.
Edit and export
Fix anything inline, then export to TXT, Markdown, DOCX, PDF, SRT, VTT, or JSON.
A .ts file is an MPEG transport stream – the wrapper used for broadcast captures, HLS segments, and DVR recordings – and most transcription tools choke on it or demand you convert it to MP4 first. Pepys reads the stream directly: upload the .ts and it pulls the audio and turns the speech into accurate, timestamped text.
You get speaker labels, timestamps, and an AI summary without juggling format converters or losing sync. It works in 99+ languages with auto-detect, long captures are chunked and stitched automatically, and you pay only for the minutes you transcribe – credits never expire and we never train on your media.
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

Ts to text – questions, answered
How do I convert a TS file to text?
Upload your .ts MPEG transport stream on this page – the first 60 minutes are free, no card. Pepys reads the audio and returns a clean, timestamped transcript in minutes.
Do I have to convert the .ts to MP4 first?
No. Pepys reads the transport stream natively and pulls the audio for you, so you can skip the remux step and upload the raw .ts file.
Will it label each speaker?
Yes – transcripts come speaker-labeled with timestamps, so you can follow who said what and jump straight to any moment in a broadcast or recording.
Can I transcribe a .ts in another language?
Yes – language is auto-detected across 99+ languages, and you can translate the finished transcript into another language.
Do you keep my file?
Only as long as needed to transcribe it, and you can auto-delete it after. We never train AI on your media or transcripts.
