Transcribe a Bisaya church service from the opening song to the benediction.
A Bisaya (Cebuano) church service of 90 to 120 minutes becomes text in about 4 minutes, and the first 20 minutes are free to read before you pay. A $6 pack of 500 minutes transcribes the rest of a two-hour service and three more Sundays after it. The Bisaya preaching comes back as a fast first draft that needs one careful read, and the English parts come back clean.
What a service becomes
The sermon in writing for the people who could not be there.
The whole service, one file
Worship, announcements, the readings, the sermon and the closing prayer stay in one recording with one clock. Chapters mark where each part begins, so a member can jump straight to the message and skip the songs.
Preaching that switches language
A pastor in Cebu may read the passage in English, explain it in Bisaya and tell the story in Tagalog. The main language is found from the audio without a setting, and each passage stays in the language it was preached in. WhipScribe transcribes; it does not translate.
Notes for small groups
The brief states the sermon's main point and the takeaways, the key quotes carry timestamps, and the questions the message answers are listed. A youth leader or Bible study group can build the week's discussion from that in a few minutes.
The arithmetic for a month
A two-hour service is 120 minutes, so four Sundays make 480. That fits one $6 pack of 500 minutes, which works out to $0.72 per audio hour. Midweek Bible studies would move a church to the $12 pack of 2,000 minutes.
Why sermons stay unwritten
A volunteer typing two hours of Bisaya by hand needs a whole weekend.
✗ Typing it out
Most media teams keep the video and never get to the text, because two hours of preaching is ten or more hours of typing.
- A weekend of typing for one Sunday
- Auto-captions that turn Bisaya into nonsense
- Songs mixed into the sermon notes
- No way to find the verse quoted at minute 50
- Notes that cover only the outline
- A backlog of unwritten Sundays
✓ Sending the recording
Upload the file or paste the livestream link on Sunday afternoon and read the draft before dinner.
- Two hours of service back in about 4 minutes
- Chapters for worship, readings and sermon
- Bible references said aloud, pulled out
- Key quotes with timestamps for the bulletin
- Bisaya passages flagged for one review
- Singing left out; the speech is transcribed

FAQ
Bisaya services, answered.
How long does a two-hour service take?
Plan on about 4 minutes, since processing runs near 2 minutes an audio hour. A 90-minute service is ready in about 3. The transcript stays in your Library if you leave the page.
What does transcribing every Sunday cost?
Four two-hour services make 480 minutes, which fits the $6 pack of 500. If you also record a midweek study, the $12 pack holds 2,000 minutes, about sixteen hours of services and studies. A first-time visitor reads the first 20 minutes free before choosing.
How good is the Bisaya?
It is supported end to end, and its accuracy trails English and Tagalog because there is much less recorded Cebuano to learn from. Expect a fast first draft: plan one review pass against the audio, especially for names, places and Scripture references read quickly.
Can I paste our livestream link?
Yes, if the service streamed on YouTube, including a live replay, or sits on Google Drive or Vimeo. A Facebook Live service needs to be downloaded first and then uploaded. A service video up to 2 GB uploads before you own a pack, and up to 5 GB once you do.
Are the songs transcribed?
Music is not transcribed; the spoken parts are. Worship sets usually come back as a gap, and the prayers, announcements and sermon come back as text.
Which formats can we download?
The service exports as TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT and JSON. SRT and VTT put captions on the service video. Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training.
