Loved by people who’d rather not type
Creators, podcasters, students, journalists, and researchers turn hours of audio into searchable text – with the AI notes to go with it.
Sunday night used to be show notes night. Now I upload the episode, skim the pull-quotes, and I am done before dinner.
Adam M.Podcast producer · Got Sunday backI had one of those awful deadline moments where I knew the source had said the line, but I could not remember where. Searching the transcript got me there in seconds, with the timestamp right next to it. That changed the whole afternoon from panic-scrubbing audio to writing the story.
Tomás H.Investigative journalist · Found the quote Honestly? I use it because I miss things in lectures. Having the transcript plus practice questions makes studying feel way less chaotic.
Hannah W.Graduate student · Less exam panic Depositions come back accurate and properly speaker-separated, and crucially nothing I upload is used to train a model. For client work that point is non-negotiable, and it is the reason I trust this above anything else I have tried.
Ravi P.Solo legal practitioner · Private depositions I used to tell myself I would repurpose long videos and then absolutely not do it. Pepys gives me the transcript, chapters, and hook ideas, which means the clips actually happen instead of living forever on my to-do list.
Daniel K.YouTube creator · Long video to shortsI record review sessions for students who miss class, then export a transcript and captions. The best part is that it helps the students who need text, captions, or a second pass without making me rebuild the lesson from scratch.
Naomi L.High school teacher · Students got support faster
