How wmv to text works
Upload your WMV
Drop in the Windows Media Video file – we extract the audio track for you, no converting first.
Get your transcript
AI transcribes the speech into clean, speaker-labeled text with timestamps in minutes.
Edit and export
Fix anything inline, then export to TXT, Markdown, DOCX, PDF, SRT, VTT, or JSON.
WMV is the old Windows screen-recorder and camcorder format, and plenty of tools still spit it out – then choke on it when you try to do anything useful. Pepys reads it directly: upload the file and it lifts the audio and turns the whole thing into searchable, speaker-labeled text without you converting to MP4 first.
There's no app to install and no plan to sign up for. Your first 60 minutes are free, you pay only for the minutes you transcribe, credits never expire, and we never train on your video or 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

Wmv to text – questions, answered
How do I convert a WMV to text?
Upload your WMV on this page – the first 60 minutes are free, no card. Pepys extracts the audio and transcribes it into clean, timestamped text in minutes, ready to edit and export.
Do I have to convert the WMV to MP4 first?
No. Pepys reads WMV directly and extracts the audio track itself, so you can skip the conversion step and just drop the file in.
Will it label who's speaking?
Yes – transcripts come with speaker labels and timestamps, so you can follow who said what and jump straight to any moment in the recording.
Can I transcribe a WMV in another language?
Yes – language is auto-detected across 99+ languages, and you can translate the finished transcript into another language afterwards.
Do you keep my video?
Only as long as needed to transcribe it, and you can auto-delete it after. We never train AI on your video, audio, or transcripts.
