Transcribe a Sermon
A sermon is preached once but read many times — as study notes, a blog post, a newsletter, or captions for the livestream. Upload the audio or video and ScribeToAny returns a clean, punctuated transcript with timestamps, so a 40-minute message becomes text your congregation can read, search and share the same week. Works on every plan, with free translation into 134+ languages for a multilingual congregation.

What you get: a real transcript
Unedited output from a 64-second interview with two speakers (synthetic voices), transcribed with speaker detection on. Only the first lines are shown.
SPEAKER_00 (0:00) Welcome back to Small Shop Stories. SPEAKER_00 (0:02) Today I'm talking to Maya, who runs a tiny bakery on the SPEAKER_00 (0:05) corner of Mill Street. SPEAKER_01 (0:07) Thanks for having me. SPEAKER_01 (0:08) It's really small, just two ovens and a counter. SPEAKER_00 (0:12) So how does a normal day start for you?

Checked against the script, 4 of 189 words differed — a 2.1% word error rate, counting "80" written for "eighty" as an error — and all 14 speaker turns were labelled correctly. This was clean speech; noisy recordings and people talking over each other score lower. See the full transcript and how it was scored

Frequently asked questions
Does it handle scripture references and names?
It transcribes what is said accurately, including quoted verses and names as spoken. Book names and unusual proper nouns are the spots to glance over in the editor, where any fix takes a second and the audio replays on click.
Can I caption the livestream recording?
Yes. Every transcript is timestamped, so export SRT or VTT and add them straight to the YouTube or Facebook upload, or burn them in with your editor. It makes the message accessible and searchable at once.
Is it good for a weekly workflow?
Yes — organise sermons into folders, transcribe each week’s recording, then export to PDF or DOCX for the study guide and share a read-only link with anyone who missed the service. No account is needed to read a shared link.
Can the sermon be read in other languages?
Yes. Translate the finished transcript into 134+ languages for free, keeping the subtitle timings for captions — or tick Transcribe to English to get English text straight from a non-English sermon.
What about the worship songs before the sermon?
Singing over music transcribes much less reliably than speech. Trim the recording to start at the sermon, or delete the song lines in the editor afterwards — it also saves minutes from your allowance.
