Sermon Transcription with AI
A recorded sermon reaches the people in the room; a transcribed sermon reaches everyone else. Churches and ministries use transcripts to publish sermon notes, build searchable archives, caption videos for accessibility, translate messages for multilingual congregations, and turn each week’s message into devotionals and study material.
Upload the recording — audio or video — and Jackob.ai returns an accurate, timestamped transcript you can export as a document (DOCX, PDF, TXT) or as captions (SRT, VTT), plus an AI summary that gives you a head start on sermon notes.

Frequently asked questions
How accurate is sermon transcription?
Sermons transcribe well: a single clear speaker with a good microphone is the best case for AI transcription. Names and scripture references are easy to verify with the synchronized player before publishing.
Can I transcribe our sermon archive?
Yes. Paid plans include 10 to 50 hours per month, which suits both weekly production and gradual archive digitization. Contact us about larger archives.
Can we caption our sermon videos on YouTube?
Yes — export SRT or VTT and upload it in YouTube Studio for accurate captions instead of auto-generated ones.
