Pastors, ministers of churches, Christian organizations and even common church going
Christians might feel the need to get their sermons and preaching transcribed.
Many use sermon transcripts only for their private use or as reference material;
others use it to spread the word of God. Preachers can use transcripts of the sermons
they have delivered as manuscripts to approach publishers. Christian organizations
and churches might want to use sermon transcripts to make their teachings available
online with the purpose of reaching out to as many as possible. The reason why people
choose to transcribe sermons is because reading it is much easier and more personal
than listening to audio recordings.
The Transcription Company or the transcriptionist must understand that sermon transcription
is not the same as general transcription or even conference transcription. Not only
is the transcriptionist required to eliminate miscellaneous words or interjections
used in verbal language like “you know”, “like”, “err” etc but must also be capable
of editing the transcript.
Editing a sermon transcript includes correcting the grammar as well as tallying
quotes and scriptures with their original sources. Even as this is done, the transcriptionist
must always remember not to allow the very meaning and intention of the sermon to
be compromised.
The way a transcript is formatted happens to be especially important in sermon transcription;
though there is no specific format, many a time the customer desires biblical style
formatting. A transcription company must let the customer choose the way their transcripts
are to be formatted.
All of this together makes sermon transcription a very specialized job. It would
always help if the transcriptionist has some understanding of Christina faith or
at least has keen interest in it. Such a transcriptionist would be more involved
in the entire process.
