Imagine being able to take any audio sermon, have it professionally transcribed by a real human and then automatically translated into multiple foreign languages for maximum outreach and international potential. It's now possible and economical! We call it our SermonAudio Transcription & Translation Service and it's easy to use!
Here's how it works. First, go to any sermon page and click on the "Transcript & Translate" button. Once we receive your request, a professional transcriber will listen to the selected sermon and create the text version (transcription) -- a copy will be emailed to you and another copy will be uploaded to SermonAudio for others to view/download.
The cost to transcribe a sermon varies from sermon to sermon depending on its length. Click on the "Transcribe" button on any sermon to find out the cost.
Foreign translations. Once the transcript has been created, automatic translations of the same sermon will be made available in 20+ foreign languages making it easy to share the sermon with friends and neighbors that may speak a different language.
Built-in Kindle Support. Any sermon transcription will automatically show a "Send to Kindle" link on the sermon page. This allows anyone with a Kindle to wirelessly receive sermon transcripts over WIFI or 3G -- in minutes!
Enjoy reading sermons on one of the most popular eBook Readers! This Kindle feature is provided completely free of charge as an included benefit from using SermonAudio's transcription service. Learn more about our Kindle support by clicking here..
Here are some of the primary benefits of using our Transcription Service:
All transcriptions are manually produced by a real human listening to the sermon and are therefore professional and highly accurate.
Automatic text translations of the sermon are then made available in multiple foreign languages for maximum outreach and international potential! Some languages include: Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Japanese, etc.
We are conveniently fast! Transcription requests have rapid turnaround (typically within a matter of days).
Completed transcriptions (PDFs) are automatically delivered to you and attached via an email notification. The broadcaster of the sermon itself also receives a courtesy email notification.
Additionally, transcriptions are uploaded to the site and attached to the original sermon for the benefit of everyone else to freely view, download, or print! It Is identified with a special transcription icon.
Word .DOC Support! Completed transcriptions are also available in the Microsoft Word format which is useful if you wish to further edit the document. The WORD link is only available to the broadcaster (owner) of the sermon when logged into the site.
New! Kindle eBook Support! You can now send any sermon transcript with a single click to your Kindle device wirelessly, instantly, and for free.
New Option! For only a few dollars more, you can optionally promote transcribed sermons with a text-feature! This is normally a $30 value!
Sermon transcripts are useful for study, searching, cataloging, or simply casual reading. Others may find it useful in being that first step to convert sermons into a book form. However you use sermon transcripts, we hope you will enjoy this new feature!
We are very excited about with this new feature on SermonAudio that makes professional transcriptions both convenient and economical for our broadcasters. We know you will be amazed with the result as well. Take a look at a sample sermon that has been transcribed using this service!
Broadcasters: Using the EDIT link on your homepage, you can optionally turn this feature ON or OFF to allow anyone to request and pay for transcripts themselves. However, in either case, you will still be notified of any transcripts created and will always be able to remove them in the future.
Thank you!

I did not read that you were offering jobs, but this seems to be result. It would be appropriate for Sermon Audio to now post public information as to whether there are jobs available or conversely, that they have plenty of employees already to do that work, and that people should not bother applying for work at this site. Obviously, many people know how to type and transcribe in our information age and would gladly type up sermons for a few dollars than to do medical billing or other mundane work that is the bane of our existence as transcribers and data processors. I am encouraged by the many people posting here with transcription skills, but somewhat discouraged by the bad grammar, spelling and punctuation found within some of those comments.

Maybe the service has changed since this comment (and another like it) was offered in 2008, but the page for the SA transcription service says clearly (now) that the service will be offered by real people, not automated. Just wanted to clarify that should someone miss that and see these comments.

I know because I am a full-time translator, I have translated many sermons. Please be advised that this is not a quality product. You would be better off finding even volunteer human translators.

With so many people applying to transcript audio sermons,it's sad to note that there is hardly any transcript for the bulk of the sermons on your website. Are they failing to cope or the idea was suspended? If it is the former then please sign me on.
Hi, I would like to transcribe for this site which has been a great blessing to me. The sermons have drawn me nearer to my Lord, cleared foggy paths down my life's rugged road, and opened my eyes to behold the glory of God in more ways than one (and continue to do so). Thank you for allowing God to use you.
I believe there are myriads of souls in need and distress longing for help. I want God to use me too to bring them nearer to Him accordingly. Please let me know if you would like me to transcribe.
I would love to transcribe for Sermon Audio. I have four years transcribing experience for a world-wide Bible teaching radio ministry, and would love to use my gifts and talents for this ministry. I would be willing to do a sample transcription for you.
Why are all these people suddenly interested in transcribing for SA? Is it the money that is the lure?
If they were really all that interested would they not already have been doing it and banging on SA's doors to put their work on SA for the benefit of others?
I am in India, looking for a job to work from home, since my husband is ill and I have to take care of him. I have about 3 years of experience in General Transcription where I successfully completed projects for churches, colleges, universities and sports magazines. I trained students to familiarise with US and UK accents. I am a teacher with over 20+ years of experience, both in India and US. I am a born again Christian hailing from a family of great pastors and missionaries. I am well versed in the Bible and I would appreciate if you could just let me know of any projects in Church or General Transcription. I will be more than glad to work with you. I assure you that you will get the best quality work and for a competitive price.
I am K. John Prasad from Hyderabad, India. I have been pursuing Master of Divinity course. I also preach in churches in and around Hyderabad. I have been associated with Christian Ministry for the past 15 years. I wish to transcribe for you perfectly. My email id is: johnprasad11@gmail.com
