MOV to Text, Fast
SubTran converts MOV into searchable text and timed subtitles in your browser, uploading only compressed audio for AI transcription.
Quick steps for mov transcription
Upload a MOV, confirm language, and SubTran extracts audio locally, transcribes with OpenAI Whisper, then shows editable text and timed subtitles.
Upload your MOV
Drop a QuickTime MOV from iPhone, Final Cut Pro, or camera storage into the browser; video frames stay on the device.
Transcription and chunking
The Web Audio API and WebAssembly extract and compress audio, split long files into ten-minute chunks, then transcribe each part with OpenAI Whisper.
Review and export
Edit the in-browser preview and download TXT, SRT, or VTT with readable cue timings for Final Cut Pro or Adobe Premiere Pro workflows.
Export SRT when you need mov to srt
Local media processing
The browser extracts and compresses the audio track locally before any transcription request is sent, so video frames do not leave your device.
AI speech recognition
OpenAI Whisper converts spoken dialogue into readable text with word-level timestamps for precise cue placement.
Timed subtitle export
Download the result as plain TXT, SubRip SRT, or WebVTT with usable cue timings compatible with players and editors.
Automatic file splitting
Long MOV recordings are divided into manageable ten-minute audio chunks and recombined into one ordered transcript.
Language selection
Let the tool detect the spoken language automatically or choose a language manually from the supported menu.
Editable preview
Review and edit TXT, SRT, and VTT output in the browser before downloading the format you need.
