Sermon Note Taker

Features
Read full description

Hearken records the sermon, transcribes every word, and writes clear, structured notes — so you can put the phone away and be present for the message. Recording and transcription are free. RECORD WITHOUT WORRY • One tap to record. Keeps recording with the screen locked or the app in the background. • Pause and resume, with live controls on the Lock Screen. • Your recording is protected — even if the phone dies mid-service, Hearken offers to finish the note the next time you open it. EVERY WORD, WRITTEN DOWN • Transcription happens on your iPhone. Your audio is never uploaded and never leaves your device. • The full text stays one tap away, right next to your notes. NOTES THAT FEEL HAND-CRAFTED • Moments after the service: an overview, the main ideas, applications, and every passage cited. • Choose the style — sermon, Bible study, devotional, or your own custom outline — plus the length and the sections that matter to you. • Notes can be written in more than 60 languages. SCRIPTURE, ONE TAP AWAY • Every reference in your notes is a link. Tap it to read the verses on the spot. • A complete Bible is built in — six public-domain translations, in English, Spanish, German, French, Portuguese and Korean — readable and searchable without leaving the app. GO DEEPER • Ask questions about the message and get answers drawn from the sermon itself. • Upload an audio file or a PDF and turn it into notes the same way. YOURS, FOR GOOD • Folders, favorites, and fast search. • Notes sync privately through iCloud across your devices. • Export notes as PDF, Word, or text — and export the audio too. HEARKEN PRO Recording, importing and transcription are free. Notes and answers to your questions require a Hearken Pro subscription (weekly or yearly, with a free trial on the yearly plan). Payment is charged to your Apple ID account, and the subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.
