Zoom Transcription
Upload a Zoom recording you have and get an accurate, speaker-labeled transcript – with an AI meeting summary – in minutes.
Accepts your Zoom recording – MP4 video or M4A audio (or any audio/video file) · returns a speaker-labeled, timestamped transcript with an AI meeting summary.
Upload a Zoom recording you have the right to transcribe. Laws vary, so make sure everyone on the call consented to being recorded before you uploaded it. Pepys transcribes your file – it doesn't connect to or record Zoom for you.

How do I transcribe a Zoom recording?
To transcribe a Zoom recording, upload the saved MP4 video or M4A audio to Pepys and it returns a clean, speaker-labeled, timestamped transcript in minutes, in 99+ languages, with an AI meeting summary and action items built in. Your first 60 minutes are free, no card required.
How zoom transcription works
Find your Zoom recording
Open your saved local recording or download a cloud recording from Zoom – the MP4 or M4A file.
Upload it to Pepys
Drop the file in and AI transcribes it into speaker-labeled text with timestamps, ready in minutes.
Get notes and export
Read the AI summary and action items, edit anything inline, then export to TXT, Markdown, DOCX, PDF, SRT, or VTT.
Zoom's own transcript is hit-or-miss, locked to a paid plan, or simply wasn't switched on before the call. If you have the recording, you have everything you need: upload the MP4 or M4A and Pepys turns the whole meeting into accurate, speaker-labeled text you can search, quote, and share.
Every transcript comes with timestamps and an AI meeting summary – the decisions, the open questions, and who-said-what – so a one-hour call becomes a one-screen recap. It works in 99+ languages, we never train on your audio, and you pay only for the minutes you transcribe; 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

Zoom transcription – questions, answered
How do I transcribe a Zoom recording?
Save your Zoom recording (local MP4/M4A or a downloaded cloud recording), upload it on this page, and Pepys returns a clean, speaker-labeled transcript in minutes. Your first 60 minutes are free, no card required.
Do I need a paid Zoom plan or Zoom's own transcription?
No. Pepys works from the recording file itself, so you don't need Zoom's audio transcript add-on or any particular Zoom plan. If you have the MP4 or M4A, you can transcribe it.
Will it label each speaker?
Yes – transcripts come speaker-labeled with timestamps, so you can follow who said what across the whole meeting and jump straight to any moment.
Do I get a summary and action items?
Yes. Every Zoom transcript includes an AI meeting summary with key decisions and action items built in, plus chat – so you can turn an hour-long call into a shareable recap in seconds.
Is my meeting private?
Yes. We never train AI on your audio or transcripts, and you can auto-delete your files after processing.
