Sermon Scrubber is an app that helps preachers repurpose their sermon audio recordings as forms of written content.
The first step is providing an audio recording, which the app will then transcribe using Apple’s on-device intelligence.
However, as you probably know, a straight transcription of a sermon is different that a piece that is prepared for readers. The kinds of expansive, even repetitive, language that even good speakers use when speaking aloud gets in the way when the transcription is presented in writing. Written communication needs to be tighter, cleaner.
And so the app presents a set of options that will take that straightforward transcript and use AI to clean it up to be an appropriate piece of writing. While trying to remain faithful to the content you’ve already created (Nothing from scratch!), Sermon Scrubber will help you transform that content into a cleaner manuscript, a shorter blog post or two, or even the chapter of a book. Or, perhaps you’d like to translate that sermon into another language, to help get the message to a new group of people you’re trying to reach.
As a preacher, I accumulated a lot of sermon recordings. I built Sermon Scrubber to help me put those old recordings back to work.
