What is MJPEG, and how do you transcribe it?
MJPEG (Motion JPEG) is a video format you'll typically find from older IP cameras and lab equipment. Frame-by-frame JPEG video; audio, when present, rides a plain PCM track that transcribes fine.
To turn it into text you don't need to convert anything first — upload the MJPEG file (or paste a link) and Whipscribe returns a clean transcript with speaker labels and per-word timestamps, exportable to TXT, SRT, VTT, or DOCX. Everything runs on private infrastructure that never hands your file to a third-party AI service.

Frequently asked
How do I transcribe a MJPEG file?
Upload the MJPEG file or paste a link. For video formats we extract the audio track first, then transcribe it. You get timestamped, speaker-labeled text in minutes.
Do I need to convert it first?
No — Whipscribe reads MJPEG directly, so there's no need to convert to MP3 or WAV.
How much does it cost?
A pack from $4 (500 minutes) opens the full transcript. Preview any transcript instantly with no signup; a pack from $4 opens the full transcript, no account needed. After that, one-time credit packs: $8 for 1,000 minutes, $12 for 2,000 minutes or $24 for 5,000 minutes, and credits never expire.
Is my file private?
Yes — private infrastructure, never sent to a third-party transcription service, no training on uploads. Delete anytime.
