Transcribe private recordings on your own computer
Journalists use MacWhisper to transcribe audio locally without uploading it. Pastor use: transcribe your own teaching or interviews when the content should not leave your machine.
Our rule: AI helps with study, research and admin. The pastor still studies, verifies and writes the sermon.
