Sermon Transcription

Sermon Transcription

A sermon is heard once by the people in the room. In text it keeps working: for the member who was ill that week, for someone searching a passage at two in the morning, for the archive your congregation builds year after year.

We turn recordings into clean, readable documents. They become a written archive on your website, the basis of a study guide or a newsletter, or printed pages for people who do not use the internet. Long-running series become searchable, so a question about a particular passage has an answer you can point at.

Sermon audio has its own difficulties. A large room with echo, a lapel microphone, quotations from scripture in more than one translation, and names that a general-purpose dictionary has never seen. Every transcript is edited and checked by real people, including a pass where an editor listens to the recording while reading the words. We research what we do not recognize rather than guessing, which is what keeps a citation accurate.

Most congregations send a service a week and are not in a hurry, which is what Budget is for. When something needs to go out quickly, Professional (1 Week) and Expert (1 Day) are faster, and carry a money-back guarantee on audio that meets the conditions in our Terms of Service. Compare the three services, or talk to us about a standing weekly arrangement.
