Transcribe an Armenian church service so the sermon can be read, not only heard.
A 2-hour Armenian Badarak recorded in a US parish is transcribed in about 4 minutes, with Armenian detected automatically and English remarks kept in the same text. Packs start at $4 for 300 minutes, and credits never expire.
For the parish council and media team
Much of the Badarak is sung. The sermon is where the priest speaks to the people, and it is the part worth keeping in writing.
The sermon's message
The brief sets out the sermon's theme and takeaways, a starting point for the parish newsletter or an email to members who live far away.
Requiems, feasts, dates
Names read for requiem prayers, feast days, the dates of the picnic or the bazaar, and other names said aloud are listed with timestamps.
Captions where there is speech
SRT and VTT follow the spoken sermon and announcements with their timing; the sung liturgy carries no captions, since music is not transcribed.
Old recordings too
Paste a Google Drive folder of past services, or send a long feast-day video through the upload page.
After the Badarak
The service is recorded, the sermon is good, and by next Sunday no one can quote it.

Sample output

An illustration written for this page; it does not come from any parish or priest. In English: 'Dear faithful, today's Gospel speaks to us about hope'; 'Hope is the light of our life'; 'Next Sunday, after the Badarak, a requiem service will be held'; an English line about the Sunday school; 'Thank you all for being here today.'

FAQ
Armenian church services, answered.
How long does an Armenian service take?
About 4 minutes for a 2-hour Badarak and under a minute for a 25-minute sermon recorded on its own, at roughly 2 minutes per audio hour.
How reliable is the Armenian text?
Armenian is detected automatically and written in Armenian script. Treat the result as a fast first draft and plan one review pass before it is published, with an eye on names, biblical references and the classical words a priest quotes from the liturgy. The opening minutes are a free preview, so you see your own priest's sermon before paying.
What happens to the sung liturgy?
The sung parts of the Badarak, the choir and the chanting, are treated as music and are not transcribed; the speech is. The sermon, spoken readings and prayers, and the announcements come through. If the parish wants only the sermon, trim it out first and upload that file; it is smaller and quicker.
What does a year cost?
Packs start at $4 for 300 minutes, and credits never expire. A year of 52 sermons of 25 minutes, 1,300 minutes, fits the $18 pack of 3,000 minutes. Forty full services, 4,800 minutes, fit the $32 pack of 6,000 minutes. Packs are paid once in US dollars.
Some of our sermon is in English. Is that handled?
Yes. The recording is detected on its main language and the English is handled in the same pass, so a priest who repeats the key point in English for younger families gets both in one transcript. Armenian is one of 99 languages detected automatically.
How large can the file be, and is it private?
Up to 10 hours or 5 GB per file, with or without a pack. A YouTube link, live replays included, needs no upload. Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training, and downloads are TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT and JSON.
