Need to turn a sermon recording into a searchable, shareable document? TurboScribe is an AI-powered transcription tool that converts audio and video files to text in seconds — and it's trusted by hundreds of pastors, churches, and ministries to do exactly that.^1
Powered by OpenAI's Whisper model, TurboScribe claims 99.8% accuracy across 98+ spoken languages, with built-in speaker recognition, translation to 134+ languages, and support for files up to 10 hours long.^2 Upload common formats like MP3, MP4, or WAV, and export your transcript as DOCX, PDF, TXT, or subtitle files (SRT, VTT). There's also a built-in audio restoration feature for recordings with poor quality — handy for older sermon archives.
The tool was built by Leif Foged, a former AI engineer at Meta who spent nearly a decade building AI systems before creating TurboScribe.^2 A dedicated free sermon transcription page makes it easy for church leaders to get started with three free transcripts daily.^1 The United Methodist Church's ResourceUMC has recommended TurboScribe as a tool for improving accessibility in worship and online ministry.^3
