Example: a short MOV transcript
Speaker 1So this is the new studio. We finally moved in last week, and everything is still in boxes.

Videos from iPhone and Mac
When you AirDrop or copy an iPhone video to a computer it often arrives as a .MOV file, typically HEVC video with AAC audio. Screen recordings made on a Mac with QuickTime Player or the Screenshot toolbar (Shift-Command-5) are saved as MOV too.
Upload them as they are. On an iPhone you can also pick the video straight from your Photos or Files when you tap the upload box in Safari.
ProRes and other huge MOV files
ProRes masters and long 4K clips can run to many gigabytes, which is a lot to upload just for the sound. The free MOV to MP3 converter on this site pulls the audio out in your browser, without uploading the video, and gives you a small file to transcribe.
What to do with the transcript
- Download SRT and import captions into editors such as Final Cut Pro or Premiere Pro
- Copy quotes with timestamps for an edit decision list
- Export DOCX or PDF with Pro to share a script with a client
- Translate subtitles into other languages with Pro
Use cases
- Captions for iPhone videos posted on social media
- Transcripts of Mac screen recordings and product demos
- Interview footage shot on an iPhone or camera
- Paper edits for documentary and corporate video work
- Notes from recorded presentations

Frequently asked questions
Is MOV to text free?
Yes. MOV videos up to 30 minutes are free without an account, up to 120 minutes per month.
Do I need to convert MOV to MP4 first?
No. MOV is accepted directly. Converting to MP3 only helps when the video is very large.
Can I transcribe a screen recording from my Mac?
Yes. Screen recordings saved as MOV upload like any other video; only the narration is transcribed.
Will HEVC videos from my iPhone work?
Yes. Only the audio track is used, so the video codec doesn't matter.
Are my videos kept?
Only for the retention period you choose. They're never used to train AI models.
