MOV to text

Transcribe a MOV video from an iPhone or camera to text you can copy or download. Free, with no upload.

Files stay on your device

Drop a MOV to turn its speech into text

The speech is recognized on your device, so nothing is uploaded and there's no limit on length.

MP3, M4A, WAV, FLAC, and other audio, or a video with sound.

How to convert MOV to text

Open the MOV and Mastershot writes down what's said in it, in paragraphs, with times if you want them. Save it as a TXT file, or as SRT or VTT subtitles. The video stays on your device.

  1. Step 1

    Choose your MOV
    Pick a file or drop it into the transcriber above.

  2. Step 2

    Transcribe it
    The speech is written down on your device.

  3. Step 3

    Copy or download
    Save the transcript as TXT, SRT, or VTT.

What to expect

Supported inputs
MOV videos, and any other video or recording this browser can read.
What happens
Whisper, a speech recognition model, listens to the video's sound on your device and writes down each word with its time. The video itself isn't changed.
Limits
The first time, the browser downloads the 77 MB speech model and keeps it. Transcribing takes about a sixth of the video's length.

Private by design

Your video stays on your device

Mastershot processes your file locally in this browser. It does not need to be uploaded to a server, and you do not need an account to use the tool.
