MOV to text: transcribe QuickTime videos online

The .mov files your iPhone, iPad and Mac produce – screen recordings, camera clips, exported edits – transcribed to text without converting them first. Files up to 10 minutes are free without an account; longer videos and speaker labels come with a free account, then you pay per minute.

  • Native QuickTime support: .mov straight from iPhone, iPad, Mac screen recordings or Final Cut, up to 4 GB – no conversion to MP4 needed.

  • Text or subtitles: download as plain text, or as SRT/VTT to caption the video.

  • Speaker labels: interviews and meetings come back with the speakers separated.

  • 99+ languages: the language is detected automatically.

  • Private by default: uploads are deleted after 30 days; delete them earlier yourself.

Frequently asked questions

  • Do I have to convert .mov to .mp4 first?

    No. QuickTime .mov files are accepted directly; the audio track is extracted on our side. If a .mov is very large, an MP4 export of the same clip is usually smaller and uploads faster, but it is not required.

  • Does it work with iPhone screen recordings and camera videos?

    Yes. iPhone and iPad record video and screen captures as .mov (HEVC or H.264); both are supported. Upload from the Photos app share sheet or from Files.

  • How long can the video be?

    Up to 10 minutes without an account. With a free account you get 30 free minutes and can upload files up to 4 GB; after that you pay per minute – 120 minutes for $5.90, 300 for $10.90, 600 for $19.90.

  • Can I get subtitles for the video?

    Yes. Every transcript can be downloaded as SRT or VTT with timestamps, which iMovie, Final Cut, Premiere and most players accept as captions.

  • Is my video stored?

    Uploaded files are deleted from our servers automatically after 30 days, and you can delete a transcript and its file at any time from your account.
