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.
