Every sermon available on SermonAudio is now “fully transcribed and searchable”, it has announced.
SermonAudio, which hosts an online library of more than 2 million sermons, said it is one of the most powerful features it has ever released.
Steven Lee, founder of SermonAudio, said they have been auto-transcribing all newly uploaded sermons (more than 8,000 each week). “But over the past year,” he said on the website, “we’ve pushed our machines to the limit, with fans roaring at full throttle (and the room temperature rising!), all to transcribe the entire library of sermons, spanning decades. It’s unprecedented.”
In a further historic move, the platform has also released the complete works of John Knox in audiobook format. It is the latest in its audiobook initiative which uses voice-cloning technology to make historic sermons and other works from past preachers, including Thomas Boston and Horatius Bonar, available today.
