Use case
Sermons turned into
text, notes and subtitles
Preaching in Taglish, transcribed as Taglish. For churches putting services online without a media budget.
Who this is for
- Pastors
- Media teams
- Volunteers
- Small group leaders
01The problem
Preaching is Taglish and auto-captions translate it away
Filipino preaching moves between Filipino and English constantly, often within a single verse of exposition. Automatic captioning on video platforms handles this badly, usually by deciding the whole thing is English and translating the Filipino into an approximation.
Most church media teams are volunteers with no budget, which rules out per-minute transcription for a weekly service that runs over an hour.
02What you get
Built around how you actually work
Taglish preaching, written as preached
The Filipino decoder is selected explicitly, so the Filipino half of a sermon does not come back as English.
Subtitles for the stream
Export SRT or VTT and load them onto the uploaded service video.
Sermon notes from the transcript
The Reviewer pulls topics, key terms and lists out of the message, quoted verbatim, as a base for a handout.
Free at weekly volume
A volunteer on a normal laptop can do this every week at no cost.
Nothing uploaded
Recordings of a congregation stay on the church's own machine.

04Questions
Frequently asked questions
Will it get scripture references right?
Usually the book and numbers come through, but references and proper names are the most common thing to correct. Timestamps make that pass quick.
Can a volunteer run this?
Yes. It is drag, choose a language, wait, export. The only technical requirement is a reasonably modern computer and the one-time model download.
Can we subtitle a service that already went out?
Yes. Transcribe the uploaded recording, correct it, export SRT or VTT, and add it to the video as a subtitle track.
How do you know the recording is not uploaded?
Because there is nowhere for it to go. The speech model runs in your browser and the file is read off your own disk. You can watch it yourself: open your browser's network tab while a transcription runs and you will see no upload.
What does it cost?
Nothing, while we're testing it — no sign-up, no credit card, no daily limit. Your own computer does the processing. All we ask is feedback through the Give feedback button.

What we ask
Tell us what to fix
Use the Give feedback button at the bottom right of any page. It takes a minute and goes straight to the people building this.
- It crashed, froze or was slow on your computer
- It misheard words, or got Taglish wrong
- Something was confusing or hard to find
- A feature you wish it had
Feedback sends what you type plus basic browser info. After a transcription you can also rate its accuracy, and optionally share that transcript's text to help us fix mistakes — only if you tick the box. Recordings are never sent.
