Sermon transcription for churches
One recording, five uses
- A sermon page on your website, which also helps people find it through search.
- Captions on the video for people who are deaf, hard of hearing or watching on mute.
- Small-group notes and discussion questions from the sermon template.
- A translated transcript for members who read another language better.
- An archive you can search when you want to find what was preached on a passage.
The sermon template
Apply the sermon template to the transcript and you get the main message in a sentence or two, the passages cited with how the preacher used them, key takeaways, a summary of each illustration, discussion questions and memorable phrases quoted word for word. If no passages were cited, the list stays empty: nothing is invented.
The AI summary, action items, AI templates, AI chat and translation work on your first file with a free account, and on every file with a paid plan, the Weekly Pass or a minutes top-up.
Captions on the sermon video
Export SRT for YouTube, Facebook and most video editors, or VTT for a web player. To show captions on every platform, burn them into the video with the subtitle tool.
