Sermons and faith study
A sermon's exact words, kept and searchable
Read the transcript beside the sermon video, save the lines that speak to you, and use the Summary to prepare your small group. Works with sermons and series on YouTube.
You remember the point, not the words
The transcript keeps what the pastor or teacher said, line by line. Search your whole library by title or by what was said, and see the line that matched.
Preparing a study group takes time
The Summary lists the main points with their times. Open the sermon at each one, and share a highlight with the group by link.
A series runs for weeks
Import the latest 25 videos of a playlist or channel in one step, so each sermon of the series is in your library with its transcript.

Frequently asked questions
Can I get a sermon transcript for free?
Yes, for sermons on YouTube. The free plan gives you Summary, Transcript, Highlights and Ask on YouTube, Vimeo and Dailymotion links up to 150 minutes.
Can I find a sermon by something the pastor said?
Yes. Search your whole library by title or by what was said, and see the line that matched. The search covers the sermons you have added to your library.
Can I add a whole sermon series?
You can import the latest 25 videos of a playlist or channel in one step. Add older sermons one link at a time.
Can I share a passage with my study group?
Yes. Share a link to one highlight or to all your highlights on a sermon. The person who opens it sees a read-only page and can save it to their own account.
Can I print the transcript to hand out?
Yes. Export the transcript as PDF, Word, Markdown or plain text, or as SRT or VTT subtitles. The Summary exports as PDF or Word.
Our church posts sermons as audio, or on its own website. Does that work?
Yes, on a paid plan. Upload an audio file, such as MP3 or M4A, as a Private file to get a transcript and a Summary. For a sermon video that plays on the church website and not on YouTube, the Video Highlight Chrome extension can record it while it plays in a Chrome tab. The extension is in early access.
Does the Summary replace the sermon?
No. The Summary helps you find the main points again, each with its time. The transcript keeps the exact words. Watch the parts you want to take in fully.
