Importing Audio Files

If you have sermon audio from a podcast app, downloaded file, or church recording, you can import it directly into Berea.

How to import

1. 1Tap the + button on the home screen.
2. 2Select Import Audio.
3. 3Browse your Files app or other document providers to find the audio file.
4. 4Select the file. Berea will create a new sermon entry and begin transcribing.

Transcription happens through Deepgram and typically takes 1–3 minutes for a standard 45-minute sermon. You'll see a progress indicator on the sermon card.

After import

Once transcription is complete, the full post-processing pipeline runs automatically — the same Deepgram batch upgrade, transcript polishing, and study material generation available for live recordings. Add the speaker name and scripture passage to get the most personalized results.
