How verbatim transcript works
Add your audio or link
Upload any recording or paste a link – we prepare the audio automatically.
Transcribe word for word
AI captures the full spoken text with timestamps and speaker labels in minutes.
Review and export
Read the complete transcript, edit anything inline, then export to TXT, Markdown, DOCX, PDF, SRT, or VTT.
When you need the record – not a paraphrase – you need verbatim. Pepys captures the full spoken text of your recording word for word: upload a file or paste a link and get the complete transcript with timestamps and speaker labels, so a deposition, an interview, a hearing, or a research session is preserved exactly as it was said.
Everything stays editable, so you can keep it strictly verbatim or clean up filler later – your call. It works in 99+ languages, comes with an AI summary built in for when you want the gist instead, and we never train on your audio. Pay only for what you transcribe; credits never expire.

Verbatim transcript – questions, answered
How do I create a verbatim transcript?
Upload a recording or paste a link on this page – Pepys transcribes the full spoken text word for word, with timestamps and speaker labels, in minutes. Your first 60 minutes are free, no card.
Does it keep filler words and false starts?
The transcript captures what was spoken, and it stays fully editable – so you can leave it strictly verbatim or remove filler and false starts yourself.
Will I get speaker labels and timestamps?
Yes – every verbatim transcript comes speaker-labeled with timestamps, so you can attribute each line and jump to the moment it was said.
Can I transcribe a long recording verbatim?
Yes. Long files are chunked and stitched automatically, so a multi-hour hearing or interview comes back as one continuous verbatim transcript.
