What is a MOV file?
MOV (QuickTime File Format) MOV is Apple’s native video format, developed for the QuickTime framework. It is the default recording format for Mac screen recordings, iPhone video captures, and many professional video editing workflows using Final Cut Pro.
Common sources of MOV files include Mac screen recordings (Command+Shift+5), iPhone video recordings, Final Cut Pro exports, QuickTime Player captures, and professional video production workflows on macOS.
Why convert MOV to text?
MOV files from screen recordings, presentations, and iPhone videos contain spoken content that needs to be documented, searched, or repurposed. Converting MOV to text is essential for teams that record training sessions, product demos, customer interviews, or internal walkthroughs on Apple devices.
