Tagalog church service transcription for Filipino-Australian congregations.
A Tagalog or Taglish service recorded by a Filipino-Australian congregation comes back as text in about 2 minutes per hour, so a two-hour service takes about 4. The first 20 minutes are free, and a $6 pack of 500 minutes then fits five 100-minute services.
Why congregations send the recording here
One upload after the service, and the message is in writing.
Tagalog without a settings page
Nobody has to choose a language before uploading. Tagalog is picked up from the audio, and when the pastor moves into English for an illustration and back into Tagalog for the application, both stay in the transcript in the order they were said.
Whatever the media team recorded
A YouTube replay link can be pasted as it is. A Facebook Live recording has to be downloaded and then uploaded. A file from the mixing desk, a Zoom recording of a midweek prayer meeting or a phone memo all go into upload page, each up to 10 hours or 5 GB.
Messages people can read on the train
The brief sums up the sermon in a thesis and takeaways, which suits a church group chat. Members on weekend shifts read the message later, and the key quotes carry the preacher's name so a quote is never misattributed.
A searchable shelf of past sermons
Every service you send stays searchable on the account, so a ministry leader can find the series on forgiveness from last winter by searching a word instead of scrolling through old livestreams.
What usually goes wrong
A Tagalog sermon is rarely written down, and the reasons are practical.
✗ Without a transcript
The message lives only in the livestream, and finding one point means scrubbing through the video.
- Volunteers too busy to type on Sunday
- English-first tools that mangle Tagalog
- Trials that end in the opening worship
- Subscriptions billed every month
- Nothing for members who read better than listen
- Old sermons lost in a long video list
✓ With the service in text
Each Sunday becomes a document with chapters, quotes and a short summary.
- Tagalog and English kept as spoken
- Around 2 minutes for each service hour
- Pay once, credits last for months
- Songs skipped, preaching kept
- A summary for the group chat
- Every past sermon searchable

FAQ
Tagalog services in Australia, the common questions.
How long does a Tagalog service take to transcribe?
About 2 minutes for each hour, so roughly 4 minutes for a two-hour service and 3 for 90 minutes.
How much does it cost for a congregation that records weekly?
Packs are priced in USD. Twenty services of 100 minutes, about five months of Sundays, come to 2,000 minutes, exactly the $12 pack of 2,000 minutes at about $0.36 an audio hour. A whole year of 100-minute services, 5,200 minutes, needs the $24 pack of 5,000 minutes plus a $6 pack.
Is my recording too big?
Almost certainly not. The limit is 10 hours or 5 GB per file, and uploads reach 2 GB before the first pack. A two-hour service saved as 128 kbps MP3 is about 115 MB (128 kbps times 7,200 seconds). If a long video is above 2 GB, it starts once a pack is on the account, or you can upload the audio track alone.
Does it understand Taglish and other Philippine languages?
Tagalog (Filipino) is among the 99 languages detected automatically, and English and Tagalog switches in one recording are handled. Bisaya, Ilocano or Kapampangan portions are supported with lower accuracy than Tagalog, so those deserve a second look.
What do we get back, and is it private?
The media team can download TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT and JSON. Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training, and each service can be deleted from the account.
Can members who are hard of hearing follow the replay?
Yes. Add the SRT or VTT file to the replay as captions, or share the DOCX so they can read the message at their own pace.
