How it works

How to transcribe a sermon

A sermon livestream on YouTube added to Exemplary AI by its link

From one sermon to the rest of the week

If the service streams to YouTube, YouTube's automatic captions and its Show transcript panel let viewers read along there. A transcript here is yours to keep and reuse: corrected names and verses, a file to post on your church website, translations for members who read another language, and a summary, newsletter or social posts written from the sermon itself.

For short vertical clips of the sermon's key moments, see sermon clips. Streaming on Facebook? The video has to be public for its link to import; Facebook video to text covers private and group videos. For YouTube, see YouTube video transcription.
