MOV is the Apple video format
When you shoot video on an iPhone or record the screen on a Mac, the result is often a MOV wrapped by QuickTime. It holds a video stream alongside its audio, and transcription only cares about the sound, which FastScribe lifts out for you automatically.
There is no need to convert MOV to MP4 or rip the audio into a separate file. Upload the QuickTime clip as it is and the system reads the audio track directly, returning a timestamped transcript of everything spoken on camera.
Turning a clip into text you can use
A MOV interview, tutorial, or vlog becomes much more useful once it is written down. You can search it, quote it, translate the workflow into steps, or publish captions, all from text rather than by rewatching the footage over and over.
Export SRT or VTT to caption the clip with frame-accurate timing, TXT for a quick read, or DOCX on Pro for a formatted document. The timestamps stay with the transcript so you can jump back to any moment in the original video.
Frequently asked questions
Can I upload a MOV straight from my iPhone?
Yes. Send the QuickTime clip to your computer by AirDrop or email, then drop it into the box above. FastScribe handles the MOV format directly with no conversion.
Should I convert MOV to MP4 before uploading?
There is no need. Both containers hold an audio track that FastScribe can read, so a MOV works exactly like an MP4 and returns the same timestamped text.
Is my video safe when I upload a MOV?
Uploads travel over encrypted HTTPS, and the video is deleted immediately. Only the text stays, kept so you can export it later.
