A sermon or khutbah written out in full, with English under every paragraph

For media teams and members who missed the language

Diaspora churches and mosques often preach in Amharic, Tigrinya, Arabic, Urdu, Yoruba, Swahili, Spanish or Korean, while the young people and visitors in the room follow English best. A media team that wants to post the message in both languages, or a member who wants to read last Sunday's sermon with their children, needs the whole text, not a few highlights.

Upload the service recording or the livestream file and the sermon is written out in the language preached, with an English paragraph under every original paragraph. Amharic and Tigrinya come out in Ge'ez script, Arabic and Urdu right to left, Korean in Hangul. Bible verses or Quran passages quoted in another language stay in that language.

An outline that does not add theology

After the transcript is finished, an outline is written from it: the title or theme as the preacher stated it, the scriptures and other texts cited, a summary, the main points in order with timestamps, the applications, calls to action or prayer points given, and memorable lines quoted word for word.

References are written the way the speaker said them. If the preacher said "John chapter three" without a verse, the outline does not add one, and a passage alluded to without a reference is not given a reference. The AI does not interpret, correct or add doctrine. The English is an AI translation, so a pastor, imam or translator should read anything that will be published in the congregation's name.

Long services and conferences

• A Sunday sermon of one hour, an Ethiopian Orthodox teaching of two or three hours, a Friday khutbah, a long bayan or a full conference session
• Several files from one service can go in one job, joined in name order
• Timestamps such as [1:23:05] let you clip the passage you want for social media
• Downloads: Word, PDF and TXT with the outline first, then the full transcript, plus SRT and VTT for captions
• Up to 2 GB per file, uploaded or linked from Google Drive or Dropbox; YouTube links are not accepted

Where mistakes happen

Hall acoustics, loud worship music, a congregation answering back and a translator speaking at the same time as the preacher all make the transcript less accurate. Names of people and places from scripture are worth checking. If the service already has a live interpreter, both voices are written out, each in its own language.
