Privacy

Why on-device matters for churches.

Volunteers should not have to manage a cloud subscription or worry where recordings of pastoral content end up. ThinkScribe runs on the phone or Mac the church already owns, keeps the recordings there, and has a one-time Lifetime option so there is no recurring bill to renew.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What is the best way to record a sermon for transcription?

A phone on the front pew works well for a clear speaker. For the best result, import the recording from your sound board or livestream, which ThinkScribe accepts as MP3, M4A, WAV, FLAC or OGG.

Can it create subtitles for the sermon video?

Yes. Export SRT or VTT and add it to the video on YouTube or your website.

Can it summarize the sermon for our newsletter?

Yes. One tap gives you a summary, key points or an executive brief, generated on the device. You can also ask the chat for discussion questions.

Is there a one-time price for a church?

Yes. Besides monthly and annual plans there is a one-time Lifetime purchase, and one purchase covers Mac, iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch on the same Apple ID.
