How voice note to text works
Save the voice note
In WhatsApp, export or save the voice message – it's an .opus (Ogg) audio file.
Upload it to Pepys
Drop the .opus in and AI transcribes it into clean, timestamped text in minutes.
Read, copy, or export
Skim the text and AI summary, copy any line, or export to TXT, Markdown, DOCX, PDF, or SRT.
A two-minute voice note can hold the one detail you need – but scrubbing back through a string of them to find it is maddening. Upload the .opus to Pepys and read it instead: the whole message turns into clean, timestamped text in minutes, so you can scan it, copy the part that matters, and reply faster.
Pepys reads the .opus (Ogg) format WhatsApp uses natively, so there's nothing to convert, and works in 99+ languages with an AI summary built in. Your first 60 minutes are free, you pay only for what you transcribe, 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
