Many churches invest a lot of care into recording and streaming their sermons online. Transcripts can make that content more available by providing another way to engage with the message.
Written transcripts support accessibility, help with study and reference, make sermon archives easier to search, and provide material for adaptations into blog posts, devotionals, captions or teaching resources.
How can transcripts benefit my ministry?
- Transcripts help include people who are deaf or hard of hearing.
- Finished transcripts can be converted into proper subtitles for video uploads.
- Provide written material for personal study reference for your congregation (local and remote), particularly those who prefer learning through reading.
- Allows your message to be found through search engines, especially when posted on a blog or embedded on your website.
- Provides a foundation for compiling your teachings into a book, e-book, Bible study or reference material.
- Creates smaller files to send to overseas missions with poor internet service, making it easier for contacts to receive and share your teachings than video or audio and more professional than photos or scans of handwritten notes.
