Transcribe Tagalog church services for Filipino-American congregations.
A Tagalog or Taglish church service from a Filipino-American congregation, 90 to 120 minutes long, becomes text in 3 to 4 minutes. The first 20 minutes are free, and a $6 pack of 500 minutes holds four full two-hour services after that.
What one service turns into
The preaching in Tagalog and English, ready for the people who missed it.
Taglish, the way it is preached
Filipino-American services often move between Tagalog and English inside one sentence. The recording is detected on its main language, and the switches between English and Tagalog are handled, so a sermon that starts in English and lands its point in Tagalog reads the way it was preached.
From the livestream, no download
If the service streamed to YouTube, paste the replay link. A Facebook Live service is downloaded first and then uploaded. A file from the sound board or a phone recorder goes into upload page, up to 10 hours or 5 GB.
For family back home and lolo at home
The text can be shared with members who work Sunday shifts, relatives in the Philippines, and older members who prefer to read. The brief gives the sermon's main point and takeaways, and the pastor is named in the summary and key quotes.
Fellowship notes in minutes
Chapters separate the worship, the message, the offering and the announcements, and the questions the sermon answers give a cell group leader a ready outline for the midweek fellowship. Worship songs are left out, because music is not transcribed.
Why Tagalog services rarely get transcribed
Tagalog is a hard ask for many tools, and Taglish is harder.
✗ The usual options
Volunteers who could type the message are the same people running media and youth ministry on Sunday.
- Tools that only expect English
- Taglish turned into garbled English
- Free minutes gone before the sermon
- Monthly billing for one Sunday a week
- Hours of typing for the media team
- Last year's sermons impossible to search
✓ Upload once, share by lunch
The service comes back as one document, timestamped, in the languages it was preached in.
- Tagalog detected from the audio
- English switches kept in place
- Near 4 minutes a Sunday
- Songs left out, speech kept
- Chapters for each part
- Packs paid once, no subscription

FAQ
Tagalog services in the US, the common questions.
How long does a two-hour Tagalog service take?
About 4 minutes; the rate is near 2 minutes per hour of audio. A 90-minute service is usually ready in about 3, so the text can be in the group chat before the potluck is set out.
What does a year of Sundays cost?
Fifty-two services of 90 minutes add up to 4,680 minutes, which fits the $24 pack of 5,000 minutes at about $0.29 an audio hour with 320 minutes to spare. One month of four two-hour services fits the $6 pack of 500 minutes. A church that records several services and Bible studies every week may prefer the $19 a month Workspace.
Is a two-hour service file too big to upload?
A single service file can reach 10 hours or 5 GB. Before the first pack, uploads go up to 2 GB; a two-hour MP3 at 128 kbps is about 115 MB (128 kbps times 7,200 seconds), so an audio file is never close. A long video above 2 GB starts once a pack is on the account.
Will it get the Tagalog right, and the English parts too?
Tagalog (Filipino) is one of 99 languages detected automatically, and English and Tagalog switches inside one recording are handled. If part of the service is in Cebuano or Ilocano, those regional languages are supported with lower accuracy, so check those parts against the audio.
Which exports do we get, and what happens to the service recording?
A service downloads as TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT or JSON. Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training, and you can delete a service whenever you like.
Can we add subtitles to the YouTube replay?
Yes. Download the SRT or VTT file and add it to the video in YouTube Studio; the timings come from the recording you sent, so captions line up when the replay and the transcribed file are the same.
