Frequently asked questions
Answers about privacy, file length, languages and exports.
Is my audio stored?
Audio is sent only for transcription. Piepo does not keep it on the server. Transcripts stay in your browser unless you choose to share them.
How long can a recording be?
Imported files and live sessions can each be up to 2 hours.
How do I transcribe a YouTube video?
Open the video in another tab. In Piepo, press the microphone, choose Computer audio, then pick the video's tab and turn on “Share audio”. Play the video and the text appears as it plays. This works in Chrome or Edge on a computer.
Which formats can I export?
