What Churches Do with Sermon Transcripts
An SRT file makes the online service accessible to deaf and hard-of-hearing members and to people watching on mute.
Pull five to eight quotable lines, or a draft post, from the message for social media and the newsletter (paid plans).
Leaders prepare discussion questions from the text and quote the exact wording of the sermon.

Before You Upload a Sermon
Three things that make the text cleaner.
Audio
Use the sound desk feed if you can
The mixed board output is far clearer than a camera microphone at the back of the room, especially with music and a reverberant hall.
Worship music
Lyrics are not the goal
Songs before and after the message transcribe poorly. Trim them, or ignore those parts of the transcript.
Vocabulary
Teach it your names
Biblical names and your own church’s names go into My terms, so they are spelled the same way every week.
How to Transcribe a Sermon
From recording to finished text in three steps.
Add the recording, or paste the YouTube or Vimeo link of the livestream.
Pick the language of the message; for a sermon with an interpreter, choose the main language.
Fix names, then export the text as DOCX, or captions as SRT for the replay.
