How do I convert voice to text?

How voice to text works

01

Upload your voice file

Drop in the recording of your voice – any common audio format, any length.

02

Get your transcript

AI turns the speech into clean, speaker-labeled text with timestamps in minutes.

03

Edit and export

Tidy anything inline, read the AI summary, then export to TXT, Markdown, DOCX, PDF, SRT, VTT, or JSON.

Talking is faster than typing, but a voice file you can't read is hard to use. Pepys converts your voice to text: upload the audio and get back an accurate transcript in minutes – ready to paste into notes, a document, an email, or anywhere words go faster than playback.

There's nothing to install and no plan to sign up for. 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
