MOV to text — transcribe iPhone and QuickTime videos
MOV is what iPhones and QuickTime save video as. The sound track inside is usually AAC, which this page reads from the file on your device — and the video plays next to the transcript so you can check it.

How it works
- Drop an audio or video file into the box above, or choose one from your device.
- The speech model loads in your browser and the text appears as it is transcribed. The file is never uploaded.
- Copy the transcript, or download it as TXT or as SRT subtitles.
FAQ
- My MOV is HEVC. Does that matter?
- Not for the transcript — only the sound is read. Whether the preview plays depends on your browser; the text is unaffected either way.
- How long can it be?
- About 35 minutes per file. For longer videos, export the audio to MP3 first.
