Sermon Notes & Transcription vs Shema

It is the believer’s dilemma: focus on the teaching or capture every detail. Trying to do both leads to scattered attention and incomplete notes.

Shema keeps what you heard on Sunday, and gives you the Bible to read the other six days. Record the sermon, hand Shema an audio file, or paste a YouTube link. You get back the transcript, a summary, flashcards and study insights, in the language you choose. Then open the reader: English opens on the King James, with NKJV, ESV, NASB and NLT beside it and hundreds more translations behind them. SUNDAY Take notes while you listen and each one keeps its timestamp, so a tap plays back the minute you wrote it in. Snap the slide. Afterwards, read the same sermon four ways: the summary, a Discussion Guide, a Life Application, or a Family Guide for the dinner table. Or listen to a spoken recap of it. Ask the sermon a question and the answer comes from what was actually said. THE READER Read a chapter at a time, or one verse at a time with everything else out of the way. Set the typeface, the theme and the size. Put a verse side by side across several translations, or ask what else Scripture says about it. Where a publisher has recorded a dramatized reading, that is what plays. Download a book or a whole Bible and read with no signal. • NKJV, ESV, NASB and NLT, plus hundreds more translations • Audio Bibles in over 2,000 languages, wherever a recording exists READING PLANS Say which book and how long you want to read each day, and Shema works out the pace and the day you finish. Or take one of nine ready-made plans, including all 1,189 chapters in the order the events happened. Today's reading waits for you in the reader, and marking it read counts toward your streak. STUDY Swipe sideways through verses and up into the Hebrew and Greek words inside them, each in its own script, with how it is said aloud and what it carries. Look up an English word and read Strong's own 1890 entry, word for word. Ask for a study on a passage or a theme and it comes back in eleven sections, or in S.O.A.P. form. Ask for a lesson and get a manuscript you could preach from. PRAYER, AND SITTING STILL Write what you are carrying and the Prayer Journal gives it back as something prayable, with a devotional and a prayer written for that situation. A Lock Screen widget opens straight into a new one. Abide in Him holds a verse over moving scenery, with an ambient bed and a blessing to close, and in most Bibles it will read the verse to you. EVERY DAY A short devotional, one thing at a time: read, answer the question, pray. What you write stays on your device. The Bible in Stories retells Scripture as short narrated chapters with artwork, each one a tap from the passage it came from, and more arrive as they are released. FREE, AND SHEMA+ Bible reading, Bible study, the audio Bibles, offline downloads and the daily devotional are free and unmetered. Free also includes two AI sermon runs a month. Recording is never blocked: a sermon captured past that keeps its audio and your own notes, and the writing lands when the month resets. Shema+ removes the cap and adds narration of recaps and devotionals, questions about the sermons you recorded, every chapter of The Bible in Stories as it is released, and PDF and Word export.
