How do you transcribe webinars?
To transcribe a webinar, upload the recording or paste the replay link and Pepys returns a speaker-labeled transcript in minutes – plus an AI summary, key takeaways, and quotable lines you can repurpose into a blog, recap email, and social posts. It's pay-as-you-go with no subscription, and credits never expire.
Made for marketers
You ran the webinar, the registrants showed up, and now a sixty-minute recording is sitting in your drive doing nothing. The gold is all in there – the customer objection your speaker handled perfectly, the one-liner that lit up the chat, the framework worth a whole blog post – but mining it by scrubbing the replay is how a single session quietly eats a week. It just needs to become text you can cut, quote, and ship.
Lifecycle and demand-gen teams live in the repurposing grind: one session has to become a nurture sequence, a few LinkedIn posts, and a recap that actually drives pipeline. Good webinar transcription is what makes that fast. Speaker labels keep your host, guest, and the live Q&A cleanly attributed, and word-level timestamps let you search for the exact line a panelist said and jump straight to it for a quote card. A DOCX blog draft and SRT or VTT captions are one click each.
Recap email & blog post
A drafted summary and key points pulled straight from the session, so the follow-up email and the blog recap write themselves.
Social clips & quote cards
Every line is timestamped in the transcript, so you can jump to the standout moment and lift the exact wording for LinkedIn posts, quote graphics, and short video captions.
On-demand replay page
An SEO-indexed transcript under every replay, so the talk keeps pulling search traffic long after the live date.
Captions for the cut-downs
Clean SRT and VTT exports so the highlight clips you carve out of the webinar are captioned and accessible from day one.
Built in, not bolted on
A summary and the key takeaways, drafted for you
Every webinaris analyzed automatically the moment it’s transcribed. Here’s a real sample, run through it.
The Welcome Email Everyone Copies and Nobody Opens
In this Demand Lab webinar, lifecycle marketer Renata Cole argues that most welcome sequences fail because they are written for the company, not the subscriber. Her fixes: lead email one with the fastest win instead of the founding story, ignore open rate as a vanity metric and report first-week action instead, keep the sequence only as long as it takes to reach a first win, and segment on behavior rather than declared preferences. The throughline: stop writing emails you'd be proud of and start writing emails people finish.
Key points
- Most welcome emails are written for the company, not the subscriber – they open with brand history when the reader signed up to solve one specific problem.
- Email one should deliver the fastest win first; replacing the origin story with the quickest win lifted opens across the rest of the sequence because subscribers learned the emails were worth opening.
- Open rate is treated as a vanity metric dressed up as a real one; the reported number is the share of new subscribers who take one meaningful action in the first seven days, because that predicts revenue.
- Sequence length is the wrong question – send only as many emails as it takes to reach a first real win, then stop. Cutting a ten-email flow to four raised conversion.
- Segment on behavior, never on who you wish subscribers were: watch what people click and ignore, because behavior doesn't lie and surveys do.
- The closing principle: stop writing emails you'd be proud of and start writing emails people finish.
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.
What should go in the first welcome email instead of the founding story?
Renata says email one should deliver the thing they came for, fast – replace the origin story with the single quickest win. She tested this directly: moving the founding story out of email one lifted opens across the rest of the sequence, because subscribers learned the emails were worth opening. As she puts it, you earn the next open with this one.
Does she actually optimize for open rate?
No – she calls open rate a vanity metric dressed up as a real one, and says the privacy changes inflated it so she treats it as directional at best. The number she reports to leadership is the share of new subscribers who take one meaningful action in the first seven days, because that predicts revenue.
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.

Alina M.Course creator · RedditEvery customer call lands in my notes the same day and nothing slips through anymore. I buy minutes when I need them, with no recurring charge to forget about. Simple, and it works.
Caleb S.Sales lead · G2 one webinar = a transcript, a blog draft AND a week of social posts. the ai summary does the first pass and i just edit from there. my content calendar has never been this easy to fill tbh.

Webinar transcription – questions, answered
How do I transcribe a webinar recording?
Upload the recording or paste the replay link (YouTube or a direct video URL). Pepys returns a speaker-labeled transcript in minutes, along with an AI summary, key takeaways, and quotable lines you can drop straight into your recap email, blog post, and social.
Can I get a blog post or recap email out of it automatically?
The analysis drafts a clear summary and a list of key points from the transcript, which is the skeleton of a recap. You paste that into your email and your blog, then edit to taste. It does the first pass so you start from a draft, not a blank page.
Does it separate the host, the guest, and audience questions?
Yes. Speaker diarization labels each voice, so a panel or a live Q&A comes back as distinct speakers rather than one wall of text – which matters when you're attributing a quote to the right person. You can rename a speaker once and it updates everywhere.
Can I pull short clips and quote cards from it?
Every word is timestamped, so you can scan the transcript, find the line that landed, and jump to the exact moment it was said to cut the clip around it. Export SRT or VTT to caption those cut-downs.
What about a multilingual or international webinar?
It auto-detects the spoken language across 99+ languages, so a session run in another language transcribes without you touching a setting. You can transcribe in the original language and get a translated version with the timing preserved.
Do I have to commit to a monthly plan?
No. Pepys is pay-as-you-go – buy a block of hours, use them across however many webinars and launches you run, and the credits never expire. You can start free with 60 minutes, no card.
Is my recording used to train AI models?
No. We never train on your audio or your transcripts. For pre-launch announcements and gated customer sessions, your recording stays your recording.
