How sermon summarizer works
Add the sermon
Upload the audio or video recording or paste a link – any length, any format.
Get the summary
AI transcribes the sermon and writes a recap with the main points, scripture references, and takeaways.
Read or share
Skim the summary, ask chat for a study outline, then export the recap and transcript to TXT, Markdown, DOCX, or PDF.
A sermon carries more than anyone can hold onto in one sitting. Pepys captures it for you: upload the recording or paste a link and AI returns a clear summary – the central message, the main points, the passages cited, and the takeaways to carry through the week – so you can revisit Sunday without replaying the whole service.
The summary is grounded in a full, timestamped transcript, so every point traces back to where it was preached and you can pull an exact line for a study guide or a bulletin. Ask built-in chat for discussion questions or a small-group outline, work across 99+ languages, and know we never train on your audio. Pay only for what you process; credits never expire.
Clean paragraphs. No more um's and ah's.
The left is what Pepys hands back – logical paragraphs with the filler stripped out, punctuated and readable. The right is the raw, one-line-per-segment dump most transcribers leave you with.
um so yeah everyone keeps telling you to like lead with your best line right but uh honestly if you give away the whole answer in the first second you know there's basically no reason for anyone to keep watching so the hook isn't kind of the smartest thing you say it's like a loop you open that they need to close and um that's the part that actually keeps people around

Sermon summarizer – questions, answered
How do I summarize a sermon?
Upload the sermon recording on this page or paste a link. Pepys transcribes it and writes a summary with the main points, references, and takeaways in minutes – your first 60 minutes are free, no card required.
Does it capture scripture references?
Yes. Pepys surfaces the passages mentioned in the sermon and links each to the timestamp where it was cited, so you can confirm the reference against what was actually said.
Can I get a study or small-group outline?
Yes – ask the built-in chat for discussion questions or a study outline and it builds them from the sermon, grounded in the transcript so the questions stay true to the message.
Will it work for a sermon in another language?
Yes. Pepys auto-detects 99+ languages and summarizes in the language preached, and you can translate the finished recap afterward.
Do you train on my recording?
Never. We don't train AI on your audio, transcripts, or summaries, and you can auto-delete uploaded files after processing.
