    How to convert MOV to text

    MOV is Apple's QuickTime video format: iPhone videos, Mac screen recordings and Final Cut exports are MOV files. Upload a .mov file and Scriptivox turns the speech in it into an accurate transcript with timestamps and speaker labels, which you can edit and download as TXT, DOCX, PDF, CSV, SRT or VTT.

    1. Upload your MOV file

      On an iPhone, share the video to Files or AirDrop it to your Mac. Mac screen recordings are saved to the Desktop unless you changed it. Then choose the .mov file in the upload box.

    2. Choose the language

      Leave it on auto-detect or pick one of more than 100 languages. Turn on speaker recognition when more than one person talks.

    3. Edit and export

      Read the transcript with timestamps, correct any word in the editor, then download it as TXT, DOCX, PDF, CSV, SRT or VTT.
