Tiếng Việt is written in quốc ngữ – a Latin alphabet so loaded with diacritics that a single vowel can stack a tone mark on top of a vowel modifier (think ấ, ệ, ở). Get one of those marks wrong and you've written a different word entirely. Pepys is tuned to place them correctly, so an interview, lecture, podcast, or voice note comes back as text you can actually search, quote, and translate – not a stream of bare vowels.
The deeper challenge is the tones. Vietnamese carries six of them, and they do real lexical work: "ma, má, mà, mả, mã, mạ" are six unrelated words separated only by pitch. Generic speech models flatten that distinction; a Vietnamese-aware model has to hear it. Pepys also rolls with the regional split – clipped Northern (Hanoi) vowels, the softer Southern (Saigon) sound. Vietnamese is auto-detected among 99+ languages, your first 60 minutes are free, 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

Vietnamese audio to text – questions, answered
How do I convert Vietnamese audio to text?
Drop your Vietnamese recording on this page or paste a link – the first 60 minutes are free, no card. Pepys writes it out in timestamped quốc ngữ within minutes, then lets you tidy anything up inline.
Will the tone marks and diacritics be correct?
That's the whole point. Pepys places tone marks and vowel diacritics (á, ầ, ệ, ở and the rest) where they belong, since a missing mark changes the word. Anything off, you can fix inline before exporting.
Does it understand Northern and Southern accents?
Yes. It follows clipped Northern (Hanoi) speech and the softer Southern (Saigon) sound, and you can correct any term inline before you export.
Why is Vietnamese tricky for generic transcribers?
Six tones decide a word's meaning – ma, má, mà, mả, mã and mạ are six different words. Generic models smear those together; Pepys is built to keep them apart.
Is my Vietnamese audio private?
Yes. We never train AI on your audio or transcripts, and you can set files to auto-delete after processing.
