Scripture references, exact
Write a reference like John 3:16 or Psalm 23 the way your church writes it, and it stays that way in every export.
Captioned sermon clips that carry the message on mute.
Cut the moment from the sermon recording, and AutoCap captions it word by word so the message reaches people scrolling with the sound off.
No credit card · 2 free minutes every month · MP4, SRT and VTT export
A sermon is written to be heard in the room. Online, most of its audience meets it as a minute-long clip in a feed, often with the sound off, between unrelated videos.
Captions decide whether that minute lands. The words have to be exact, especially names, places and scripture references, and readable on a phone held upright.
AutoCap captions the clip you cut, lets you check every word against the recording, and exports a vertical MP4 ready for Reels, TikTok, Shorts or Facebook.
Made for the moment you want to share.
Names and places checked
Speech recognition can stumble on biblical names and places, so every word stays editable until the captions are burned in.
Cleaner audio, better captions
A feed from the sound desk transcribes far better than a camera microphone at the back of the hall, so use it when the recording offers a choice.
Vertical from a wide shot
Crop a 16:9 service recording to 9:16 for Reels and Shorts; it works best when the preacher stays near the middle of the frame.
Room for a full point
Paid plans caption clips of up to 5 minutes, long enough for a complete point and the story that carries it.
From Sunday's recording to a captioned clip in four steps.
- 01
Pick the moment
Choose one complete point, a story or a single strong line from the sermon recording.
- 02
Cut and upload
Trim it in your editor and upload the clip as an MP4 or MOV.
- 03
Check every word
Read the transcript against the audio, fixing names, places and scripture references.
- 04
Crop and post
Choose 9:16 for Reels, TikTok and Shorts or 4:5 for the Facebook feed, then render the MP4.
Choosing a moment that travels
The clips that get shared stand on their own: a story with its turn, one clear point, a line that sums up the whole message. A clip that depends on the twenty minutes before it rarely does.
Start on the first word of the thought and end as soon as it lands. A short clip that's complete does better than a long one that trails off into the next section.
Sermons, songs and lyrics
A sermon clip carries the preacher's own words. Worship songs are different: before you caption a song's lyrics in a clip you post, check what your church's licenses cover for publishing lyrics online.
Many churches keep clips to the spoken message for that reason, and let the music play under the captions rather than in them.
Good to know.
Can AutoCap find the best clips in a sermon?
No. You choose the moment and cut it, and AutoCap captions the clip you upload.
Can I caption a full sermon?
Each clip can run up to 5 minutes on a paid plan and 60 seconds on the free plan, so AutoCap is built for clips rather than the whole service.
Will it spell biblical names correctly?
Not always, because speech recognition can mishear unfamiliar names and places. Every word can be corrected before export, and edits don't use extra minutes.
Is there a free way to caption sermon clips?
Yes. AutoCap's free plan includes 2 minutes of transcription a month for clips of up to 60 seconds, with a small watermark on exports and no card required.
Can it caption sermons in other languages?
Yes: speech in 39 languages, including Spanish, Portuguese and Polish, which helps churches that hold services in more than one language.
Try it on the next video you post.
The free plan needs no card. Upload a clip, check the captions yourself, and only upgrade when you want the watermark gone.
