SermonScribe promises 99.9% accuracy or your money back.

The SermonScribe Difference

SermonScribe transcripts have been THE professional standard for sermon transcription since 2008.

That’s because we understand that getting it right means more than just slapping words onto paper.

Every transcript is produced by a professional transcriptionist who handles not just the words but everything that makes a transcript actually usable. Here's what that includes:

✓ Custom Transcript Design

We’ll design a transcript template that matches your brand, including your logo in the header of the transcript. Your custom-designed transcript will have your choice of line-spacing, formatting, and a custom header and footer.

✓ No Editing Needed

Your transcripts will be ready to be posted online or printed and shared with others immediately. You won’t have to edit them for accuracy, grammar, spelling, punctuation, consistency, paragraph breaks, hyperlinks, or formatting. We handle it all.

✓ Exclusive Download Service

Want us to keep an eye on your website and download new files when they’re posted so you don’t have to send them? No problem! Easy, seamless, no-fuss process.

✓ Monthly Invoicing

For weekly service, you’ll get an invoice once a month and have up to 30 days to make your payment with ACH, credit card, PayPal, or check. If you have a large bulk order, we’ll come up with a payment plan that works with your budget.

✓ Bible Verse Accuracy

We’ll look up every verse to make sure you didn't mean to say 1 Kings when you said 2 Kings or verses 2-8 when you said verses 3-9 or the name Elijah when you said Elisha. Looking up the verses is also important because if you said, “In Psalm 29 it says...,” it’s impossible to know whether you meant chapter 29 or chapter 20, verse 9, without looking it up.

✓ Hebrew/Greek Words

We’ll look up the correct spelling of Hebrew and Greek words in the Strong's Concordance and if we’re still stumped, we’ll put a blank and time stamp for you.

✓ Grammar Correction & Light Editing

We will leave out the uhs and ums, laughs and coughs, and “Hey Bill, I don’t think my microphone is on...” We’ll correct grammar, leave out crutch words and phrases (like Andy Stanley’s infamous “Listen, listen...”), and recast sentences so they read more smoothly.

✓ Bible Verse Formatting

We’ll format all Bible verses in your choice of bold, italics, and/or color to differentiate between direct biblical quotes and paraphrases.

✓ Proofreading

This is one of the most important steps we take in the transcription process for you. Every transcript will be proofread by an experienced sermon transcript proofreader/editor to ensure not just accuracy but consistency as well. We do our best to make sure all your transcripts look like they were transcribed by one person, even though in reality they will have been transcribed by multiple people with multiple styles. This is especially important if you’re using the transcripts as the foundation of a book manuscript.
