0:00Good morning church. Please turn with me to the Gospel of Matthew, chapter five, verse three.
0:12This morning we begin a new series on what Jesus called the blessed life, the Beatitudes.
0:24Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. That is our text this week.
0:38The word Jesus uses here for blessed does not mean happy in a shallow, circumstantial sense.
0:51It means deeply, fundamentally content because of your relationship with God, regardless of circumstance.
1:04And to be poor in spirit is not about material poverty. It is a posture of dependence on God.
1:18It is knowing that whatever you build, whatever you accomplish, ultimately rests on grace, not on merit.

Frequently asked questions

Can I transcribe a Sunday livestream recording?

Yes. Download the MP4 from YouTube Live, Facebook Live, or your church-stream provider and drop it here. Video is auto-demuxed server-side.

Does Mictoo handle scriptural references and theological terms accurately?

Whisper large-v3 handles common English scripture and theological vocabulary well. For unusual proper nouns (older transliterations, specific translation terms), review after transcription.

Is Mictoo free for churches?

Yes. Free per file up to the size cap. No church-specific tier or license.

My service recording is over 60 MB. What now?

Sign in for auto-split (up to about 3 hours). Or downsample: ffmpeg -i service.mp3 -b:a 64k -ac 1 out.mp3. Same accuracy, 3-5x smaller.

Can I get captions for the livestream replay?

Yes. Download SRT or VTT after transcription. Timestamps align to the original recording for YouTube, Facebook, or your video hosting.

Can I translate the sermon for the missions team?

Yes. Pick a target language and click Translate. Useful for multilingual congregations, missions, and diaspora ministry.

Are recordings kept on your servers?

No. The audio streams to the transcription provider, gets processed once, and is dropped. Only the transcript persists on signed-in accounts.
