How do I convert a MOV to text?
To convert a MOV to text, upload the .mov video to Pepys and it transcribes the spoken audio into a clean, timestamped, speaker-labeled transcript in minutes, in 99+ languages, with an AI summary built in. No format conversion needed – Pepys reads the audio straight from the MOV. Your first 60 minutes are free, no card required.
How mov to text works
Upload your MOV
Drop in the .mov straight from your iPhone or Mac – Pepys extracts the audio for you, no re-encoding.
Get your transcript
AI transcribes the spoken audio into clean, speaker-labeled text with timestamps in minutes.
Edit and export
Read the AI summary, tidy anything inline, then export to TXT, Markdown, DOCX, PDF, SRT, VTT, or JSON.
MOV is the default for iPhone clips, QuickTime captures, and Mac screen recordings – great for video, useless when you actually need the words. Pepys turns the talking into text: upload the .mov and get back an accurate, speaker-labeled transcript you can search, quote, and paste, without exporting the audio first.
Every transcript is timestamped and ships with an AI summary, so a long demo or recorded call collapses into a few key points. It works in 99+ languages with auto-detect, runs in your browser with nothing to install, and you pay only for what you transcribe – credits never expire and we never train on your video.
Clean paragraphs. No more um's and ah's.
The left is what Pepys hands back – logical paragraphs with the filler stripped out, punctuated and readable. The right is the raw, one-line-per-segment dump most transcribers leave you with.
um so yeah everyone keeps telling you to like lead with your best line right but uh honestly if you give away the whole answer in the first second you know there's basically no reason for anyone to keep watching so the hook isn't kind of the smartest thing you say it's like a loop you open that they need to close and um that's the part that actually keeps people around
