How wav to text works
Upload your WAV
Drop in the WAV file – we read the uncompressed audio directly, with no quality lost in conversion.
Get your transcript
AI transcribes the WAV into clean, speaker-labeled text with timestamps in minutes.
Edit and export
Read the AI summary, fix anything inline, then export to TXT, Markdown, DOCX, PDF, SRT, VTT, or JSON.
WAV is the uncompressed format recorders, studios, and field kits save when audio quality matters – which makes it excellent source material for an accurate transcript. Upload the file and Pepys turns that clean audio into searchable, quotable, speaker-labeled text in minutes.
Because WAV keeps every detail, there's nothing for compression to smear. No software to install and no subscription: 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

Wav to text – questions, answered
How do I convert a WAV to text?
Upload your WAV file on this page – the first 60 minutes are free, no card. Pepys transcribes it into clean, timestamped text in minutes, which you can edit and export.
Does lossless WAV transcribe more accurately?
Clean, uncompressed audio gives the model the most to work with, so a good WAV typically transcribes very accurately. You can still edit any line inline before exporting.
Is there a length or file-size limit?
Free transcripts cover your first 60 minutes. Large WAV files are handled automatically – we split long audio and stitch the transcript back together with correct timestamps.
Do you keep my WAV file?
Only as long as needed to transcribe it, and you can auto-delete it afterward. We never train AI on your audio or transcripts.
