A transcript is not a note

A transcript is the raw material. It is what was said, in order, with the timestamps. It is valuable, searchable, and worth keeping. It is also not what you send to a member on Monday morning.

Three steps

First, the recording becomes one transcript. Folio keeps it with the source, the campus, and the progress, so a teaching is never a loose file.

Second, the church’s voice and doctrine shape a draft. Main points, the verses exactly as they were read, and things to carry into the week. This is where a transcript becomes a note.

Third, review. A person reads the note, the quoted scripture is checked against the King James text, the claims are tied to the sermon, and the note is approved before it goes anywhere. A church that has turned on automatic approval lets notes that pass the checks skip this step.

Only then does the note reach a shared page, the inbox, the website widget, or Ask. And because it points back to the sermon, a reader who wants the whole thing can always find it.
