Use case

Turn a sermon into a transcript and notes

By Rony Fadel, founder of Spiik. Updated November 1, 2026.

The short answer

Record the sermon or import the audio or video into Spiik, then tap Transcribe. From there you can generate notes and a summary, translate it for members who speak another language, and export SRT or VTT subtitles for the video you post.

From Sunday to the whole week

  1. Get the audio. Record it live, or import a file from Files or Photos. If your sermon is on your own YouTube channel, paste the link.
  2. Transcribe it. Choose the spoken language, and turn on Translation if you want another language as well.
  3. Make notes. In AI Tools, choose a Summary, Highlights or an FAQ for a small-group guide.
  4. Add subtitles. Export SRT or VTT and add it to your video.
  5. Check it. Names and scripture references can come out wrong, so read it through before you publish.

Live sound systems can be noisy in a phone's microphone. For cleaner results, use the feed from your sound desk if you have one, then import that file.
