Plain terms, honestly stated.

You bring a sermon — a YouTube link or a recording — and SermonRecap transcribes it and produces a summary, key points, questions and suggested applications. You can generate three recaps for free; after that, a subscription is required to keep generating. Opening a recap someone shared with you is always free.

It is a study companion, not a commentary and not a source of doctrine. It stays close to what the preacher said and does not set out to correct anyone.

Recaps are produced by automated transcription and a language model, and they get things wrong. Words are misheard, meaning is flattened, scripture references can be misattributed. Check anything that matters against the sermon itself before repeating it, teaching from it, or quoting a preacher as having said it.

The service is provided as it is, with no warranty of any kind, and may change or stop at any time. Nothing here is legal, financial, medical or pastoral advice.

Only bring material you have the right to bring. Uploading a recording means confirming you may lawfully do so — you made it, you have permission, or it is public. Don’t use the service to break the law, to infringe someone’s copyright, or to overwhelm it with automated traffic.

You keep whatever rights you already hold in what you upload and in the notes you write. Using the service grants only the permission needed to run it: to store your material, send it to the processors listed in the privacy policy, and show the result back to you.

Remember that a recap page can be opened by anyone holding its link. Confirmed YouTube sermons may also appear on Explore for subscribers. That is described in full in the privacy policy, and it is worth understanding before you paste one anywhere.

If you believe something here infringes your copyright, use the contact form with the link and who you represent. Material will be removed promptly while it is looked into.

After three free recaps, generating more costs $4.99 a month or $49.99 a year. Reading a recap someone shared stays free. Uploads and Explore are part of the subscription.

SermonRecap is not a registered charity or nonprofit, and payments are not tax-deductible. They are payments to the individual who runs it, and no receipt for tax purposes can be issued. The word “ministry” on this site describes its purpose, not a legal charitable status.

Payments are handled by Stripe under Stripe’s terms. Cancel at any time from the manage link on the pricing page; it stops at the end of the period already paid for. A charge made by mistake will be refunded if you ask.

You can generate one recap without an account. If you make one, keep your sign-in to yourself. Either of us may close it at any time; ask and yours will be deleted along with its contents.

These terms may change; the date above changes with them, and continuing to use the site means the new version applies. Anything unclear, ask on the contact page and you’ll get a real answer.
