How do you transcribe recordings?
Pepys transcribes depositions, hearings, client interviews, and recorded statements into speaker-labeled text in minutes, then surfaces the key themes, notable admissions, and a question-by-question recap of the testimony. It's pay-per-recording with no subscription, credits never expire, and your files are never used to train a model.
Made for legal teams
A firm doesn't transcribe one deposition; it transcribes a docket. The bottleneck isn't any single recording, it's turning a steady stream of testimony into searchable text fast enough for the associates and paralegals working the matter, in a format the whole team reads the same way. Pay-per-recording with no per-seat license means everyone who touches a file can use it, and because nothing you upload is ever used to train a model, it clears the security review for privileged and client material.
The work that follows is where law firm transcription services earn their keep: building a designation chart, cite-checking a brief against the rough, drafting the errata, prepping cross from prior testimony. Word-level timestamps tie every line back to its place on the video, so a designation reads as page-and-second rather than a vague gesture at "somewhere in volume two." Speaker labels keep counsel, witness, and the objecting attorney in their own turns, and full-text search puts the one admission you need a keyword away.
Depositions & EUOs
A verbatim, speaker-separated transcript of the testimony, with timestamps so you can jump from a quote straight to the moment on the video.
Hearings & recorded statements
Turn motion hearings, arbitrations, and recorded witness statements into searchable text the same day, not after a courier round-trip.
Finding the admission fast
Full-text search across the transcript so the one line a witness conceded is a keyword away, not a scrub through hours of footage.
Multilingual witnesses
Statements taken in another language come back transcribed and translated, so a non-English witness doesn't stall the file.
Built in, not bolted on
The admissions, the exhibit exchanges, and a filing-ready recap
Every recordingis analyzed automatically the moment it’s transcribed. Here’s a real sample, run through it.
Deposition Excerpt: Facilities Manager Concedes a Gap in the Inspection Log
In this deposition excerpt from a premises-liability matter, plaintiff's counsel examines a store facilities manager about the night of an alleged slip-and-fall. The witness confirms he signs off on the nightly inspection log and, when shown Exhibit 14, concedes the store's thirty-minute walk-through policy was not met that night because the crew was short-staffed. He also testifies that a leaking cooler near the produce aisle had been reported roughly ninety minutes before the incident, that he radioed it in and set out a cone, but that maintenance never arrived before the customer fell. The exchange establishes both notice and a deviation from policy.
Themes
Notable quotes
- “That would have been the floor crew, but I'm the one who signs off on the inspection log at the end of each shift. So ultimately it lands on me.”
- “I'm not going to sit here and pretend the log is complete, because it isn't. The thirty-minute rule is the policy, but that night we missed one.”
- “A customer flagged a leaking cooler near the produce around seven-thirty. I radioed it in and put out a cone, but we never got maintenance over there before the incident.”
- “That cone was the only thing standing between that puddle and a customer.”
Q&A
Who was responsible for inspecting the produce aisle, and who was accountable for the log?
The witness testified that the floor crew handled the walk-throughs, but that he personally signs off on the inspection log at the end of each shift, so accountability ultimately rests with him.
Was the store's thirty-minute walk-through policy followed on the night in question?
No. Shown the inspection log marked as Exhibit 14, the witness identified his initials in the eight and ten o'clock rows, acknowledged there was no entry in between, and conceded the crew was down two people and missed the nine o'clock walk.
Did the store have notice of a hazard before the fall?
Yes. The witness testified a customer reported a leaking cooler near the produce around seven-thirty. He radioed it in and placed a cone, but maintenance never reached the area before the incident.
What objection did defense counsel raise during this line of questioning?
Defense counsel objected to the form of the question on the ground that it assumed the thirty-minute policy was in effect that night, then instructed the witness that he could still answer.
Clean, speaker-labeled, click-to-seek
Ask, don’t scrub
Ask the transcript anything.
An hour-long recording? Don’t skim it – ask. Every answer stays grounded in your transcript and cites the exact timestamp, so you can jump to the moment and check it yourself.
Did the witness admit the inspection log was incomplete that night?
Yes. He said plainly, "I'm not going to sit here and pretend the log is complete, because it isn't," explaining the crew was down two people and he never got to the nine o'clock walk. He framed the thirty-minute rule as the policy but acknowledged that night they missed one.
Was there any notice of the hazard before the fall, and what did he do about it?
He testified a customer flagged a leaking cooler near the produce around seven-thirty. He radioed it in and put out a cone, but maintenance never reached the area before the incident – "that cone was the only thing standing between that puddle and a customer."
Grounded in your transcript – if the answer isn’t in the audio, it says so instead of guessing.
Who said what
Speaker labels that survive cross-talk
Automatic speaker diarization. Two people, four people, cross-talk and interruptions – interviews, panels, messy meetings. Pepys keeps each voice on its own line instead of blurring them into one, so you never rewind to figure out who was talking.
So the festival nearly didn't happen this year–
–it almost didn't. We lost the venue three weeks out.
Three weeks? How do you even start to–
You call everyone you know. The whole town pitched in.
And that's how it ended up in the park.

Why legal teams pick Pepys
Your files are never used to train a model – non-negotiable for privileged and client material.
Pay per recording, with no subscription and credits that never expire, so a quiet month costs nothing.
Speaker labels keep counsel, witness, and the objecting attorney cleanly separated in the record.
Timestamps tie every line back to the video, so a cited quote is one click from its source.
What legal teams say
had ~2 hrs of interviews to get through on deadline. uploaded the lot, got it back speaker-labeled and fully searchable, so i could jump straight to the quote i half-remembered instead of scrubbing the timeline for twenty minutes. genuinely saved the story.
Tomás H.Investigative journalist · Reddit Every user interview comes back as a clean, searchable transcript I can tag and quote directly in my reports. Synthesis used to be the slowest part of my week and now it's an afternoon. The speaker labels alone are worth it for me.
Sofia L.UX researcher · G2 We run field interviews in two languages and need them written up quickly. The transcripts come back accurate enough to quote directly in our donor reports – it has changed how fast we turn fieldwork around.

Law firm transcription services – questions, answered
Can the whole firm use it across matters, or is it per-seat?
There are no per-seat licenses. Credits live at the account level, so every attorney and paralegal on a matter transcribes against the same balance, and a finished transcript is shared by link rather than locked to one person's login. Diarization still separates counsel, witness, and the objecting attorney into labeled turns on every file.
Do you use our recordings to train AI models?
No. Your uploads are processed to produce your transcript and analysis and are never used to train any model. For privileged depositions and client statements that point is non-negotiable, which is exactly why we don't.
How accurate is it with legal terminology and exhibit references?
It handles legal vocabulary, party names, and exhibit numbers well, and auto-detects the spoken language across 99+ languages. Anything it gets wrong – a misheard name or citation – you can correct inline in the editor before you export.
What can I export for a transcript?
Plain text, a formatted DOCX, a PDF, timestamped SRT and VTT, and JSON. The timestamps tie each line back to the source recording so a quoted passage is one click from the video.
Can I search across the testimony to find a specific admission?
Yes. The full transcript is searchable, so the exact line where a witness conceded a point is a keyword away instead of a manual scrub through hours of audio or video.
What about a witness who testifies in another language?
Upload the recording as-is. Pepys detects the spoken language automatically and can return both the original transcript and a translation, so a non-English witness statement doesn't stall the file.
Is there a subscription, or do I pay per matter?
There's no subscription. You buy a block of minutes, use them across whatever matters you're working, and the credits never expire – so a slow month costs you nothing. You can start free with a block of minutes, no card required.
