About Pepys

Pepys is a transcription service whose entire positioning rests on two refusals: no length cap and no subscription. Files up to 5GB and ten hours each are accepted, from upload or from a pasted link on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, Spotify or Apple Podcasts, and the transcript comes back speaker-labelled with timestamps. Language handling is automatic — the spoken language is detected on the way in across 99-plus languages, and the finished transcript can be translated into any other with timestamps and subtitles intact, at the same flat rate for every language rather than tiering by how expensive the language is to model. On top of the raw transcript sit AI summaries, chapters and a chat interface that answers questions about the content, plus audio-synced playback. Exports cover TXT, DOCX, PDF, SRT, VTT and JSON, and a developer API, MCP server and webhooks are metered against the same credit balance as the web app rather than sitting behind a separate plan. The pricing model is the unusual part: one purchase of any size — as little as $12.50 for ten hours — permanently unlocks every pro feature including speaker diarization, 100-file batch processing and word-level timestamps, and credits never expire.
