When a person searches online with certain questions, in many occasions, it will send you to a web page containing a sermon relevant to that question. The person will have the option of listening to the sermon or downloading the transcript. 9 times out of 10 they will choose to download the transcript. It takes less time to read a transcript than to listen to the whole sermon. The transcript can be printed for study purposes, whether you are attending a bible study group or a course such as Alpha (one of Fingertips clients). Important and useful points such as Bible verses can be highlighted for reference. Transcripts can be archived and filed for easy location. Persons with hearing difficulties need to be able to have the option to read the transcript and the transcripts can be used for closed captioning. Transcriptions are SEO friendly when a person is typing in a particular search term, audio is not.
Also many people search online to find answers and to look into the Bible and what it teaches. There is a transcription of the whole Bible on the internet along with voiceover. Studying the Bible is quite challenging and there is a lot to read so it is good to have the choice whether to read or listen. The option to download in PDF is also available which is good if you wish to print the pages, highlight any parables or verses. After all, you don’t want to put highlight and draw pen all over your hardcopy Bible do you? The option to listen is also a good feature for persons with visual impairments.
