Sermon Keeper is your companion for every Sunday service. Tap once during the sermon to mark the moment that hit you — Sermon Keeper records the audio and pins your notes to the timeline. After service you get a transcript and a summary that keeps the preacher's own outline. Snap a photo of your open Bible and Sermon Keeper turns the verse into a SOAP study journal (Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer) you can revisit any day. WHY CHOOSE SERMON KEEPER? - Effortless Recording & Note-Taking: With a single tap, record the sermon while taking notes. Every note keeps the exact moment it was written — tap it later and the recording plays from there. - Transcription & Summary: After the service you get the full transcript, an overview, the preacher's own outline, questions to reflect on, the passages he named, and concrete steps for your week. - Seven Bible Translations Inside the App: KJV, NASB 1995, ESV, NKJV, NIV 1984, WEB and Reina-Valera 1909. Type a reference like "John 3:16" and the verse appears in a card — no internet needed. When the sermon is read from a translation other than yours, the verses list shows the one you heard. - Scan Scripture → SOAP Journal: Point your camera at any open Bible page, pick a verse, and Sermon Keeper generates a SOAP study entry — Scripture, Observation, Application, and Prayer. - Scan the Slide: Point the camera at the screen at the front of the room and the words land in your notes. No typing in the dark. - Reminders That Fit Your Week: One question at the start sets a nudge an hour before your service and a recap of that sermon midweek. Two a week, nothing more. - Keep It Organized: Group recordings and study cards into folders with an icon of your own. Export notes as PDF, plain text, or email. - Bilingual Support: Full English and Spanish interface for a global Christian community. Every month you get one free creation — a recording, an uploaded audio file, or a Scan Scripture card. Upgrade to Sermon Keeper Plus for as many as you like. We'd love to hear your feedback!
