Transcribe a 2-hour sermon in about four minutes.
A 2-hour sermon is 120 minutes, which comes back as text in about 4 minutes at roughly 2 minutes per audio hour, and fits the $6 pack of 500 minutes with 380 left. The first 20 minutes are free, and if the service was streamed you can paste the video link instead of uploading anything.
A long message, kept whole
Two hours of preaching deserves more than a few remembered lines.
Four minutes for the whole message
At about 2 minutes per audio hour, a two-hour sermon is ready before the fellowship hall empties. Send it from the sound desk after the service and the text is waiting by the time you are home.
What 120 minutes costs
The $6 pack holds 500 minutes, so one 2-hour sermon uses less than a quarter of it. The remaining 380 cover about three more Sundays of the same length, and the minutes do not expire between them.
The livestream is enough
Was the service streamed on YouTube? Paste the replay link and skip the download. For a video file from the camera, upload page takes it up to 5 GB; worship sets and instrumental music are skipped, and the speech is transcribed.
Notes, guides and captions
The brief states the main thesis and takeaways, chapters follow each point with its timestamp, and the scripture references, names and dates said are listed. The preacher and readers are named in the summary, key quotes and chapters.
Why a 2-hour sermon is hard to keep
The longer the message, the less of it survives in notes.

A volunteer types what they can, or the recording sits on a drive and nobody goes back to it.

FAQ
A 2-hour sermon, the common questions.
How long does it take to transcribe a 2-hour sermon?
Roughly 4 minutes, since processing runs near 2 minutes an audio hour. You can leave the page; the transcript is saved to your Library.
What does a 2-hour sermon cost?
120 minutes. The first 20 minutes are free for a first-time visitor, and the $6 pack of 500 minutes transcribes the rest and leaves at least 380. A $24 pack of 5,000 minutes covers about 41 two-hour Sundays.
How big is a 2-hour sermon file?
An MP3 from the sound desk is usually around 100 to 120 MB. A full-HD video of the service can run to a few gigabytes; under 2 GB it uploads before a pack, and up to 5 GB once a pack is on the account. A stream link avoids the upload altogether.
Do I need to cut out the songs first?
No. Send the recording as it is. Music is not transcribed, and the chapters show where the sermon begins and ends inside the service.
Can a sermon in Spanish, Korean or Tagalog be transcribed?
Yes. 99 languages are detected automatically, and English and Tagalog switching in one sermon is handled. For a Cebuano or other regional Philippine service, treat the text as a fast first draft and plan one review pass.
Which formats, and who sees the recording?
TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT and JSON from one run, so the same sermon becomes a study guide, a blog post or captions. Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training.
