## About

Pepys is pay-as-you-go AI transcription software that turns files and supported links into accurate, speaker-labelled, timestamped transcripts in 99+ languages - with AI notes, transcript chat and no length caps.

We auto-detect the spoken language on the way in, 99+ of them, then translate the finished transcript into any other, with timestamps and subtitles intact. Every language is the same flat rate – no language tiers.

Timestamps, speaker labels, and subtitle timing carry through to every export.

Start free with transcription, AI notes, chat, translation and synced playback. Buy any pack once to unlock speaker labels, batch and premium exports for good – you only top up minutes when you need them.

We never train on your audio. There is no monthly usage cap or subscription, and credits never expire. Buy once, nothing to cancel.

Hooks for short-form, show notes for podcasts, decisions for meetings, study notes for lectures – built into the editor, not a bolted-on chatbot you re-prompt.

Any audio or video. You record it – no bot ever joins your call – and we do the rest.

Timestamps, speaker labels, and AI tuned to your format – show notes, hooks, or a summary. Ready in minutes.

SRT, VTT, TXT, DOCX, PDF, JSON. One click. Your credits never expire.
