How do I transcribe a webinar?

To transcribe a webinar, upload the recording to Pepys – or paste a YouTube link – and it returns a clean, timestamped, speaker-labeled transcript in minutes, in 99+ languages, with an AI summary built in. Your first 60 minutes are free with a free account, no card required.

How webinar transcription works

01

Add the webinar

Upload the saved recording, or paste a YouTube link if the webinar is public there.

02

Get the transcript

AI transcribes the session into clean, speaker-labeled text with timestamps in minutes.

03

Summarize and export

Read the AI summary, edit inline, then export to TXT, Markdown, DOCX, PDF, SRT, or VTT.

Webinars run long, and the part you actually need – a stat, a customer story, the answer in the Q&A – is buried somewhere in the middle. Transcribing the session fixes that: upload the recording (or paste a YouTube link if it's posted publicly) and Pepys hands back the whole talk as searchable, speaker-labeled text, so you can jump to any moment and lift exact quotes.

Free to start, with no subscription. Your first 60 minutes are free with a free account, every transcript includes an AI summary that captures the key points and takeaways, and it works across 99+ languages. We never train on your audio, you pay only for what you transcribe, and credits never expire.

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

Webinar transcription – questions, answered

How do I transcribe a webinar?

Upload the webinar recording on this page – or paste a YouTube link if it's public there – and Pepys returns a clean, speaker-labeled transcript in minutes. Your first 60 minutes are free, no card required.

Can I transcribe a webinar from a YouTube link?

Yes. If the webinar is posted publicly on YouTube, paste the link and Pepys reads its captions as text. To transcribe a private recording, upload the file directly instead.

Will it label each speaker?

Yes – uploaded recordings come back speaker-labeled with timestamps, so you can follow the host, panelists, and Q&A across the whole session.

Do I get a summary?

Yes. Every transcript includes an AI summary with the key points and takeaways, plus built-in chat for follow-up questions – so a long webinar becomes a quick recap.

Is it free and private?

Your first 60 minutes are free with a free account, then it's pay-as-you-go and credits never expire. We never train AI on your audio, and you can auto-delete your files after.
