The United Church of God provides a service that puts sermons in transcript form for those who are deaf and for prisoners who cannot receive tapes. These transcripts are also provided on the United Web site for anyone who would like to read and/or download them.

Eleven volunteers from across the United States type these transcripts from sermon tapes sent out by United's home office. They produce over 60 transcripts a year. In addition, one volunteer (with help from her daughter) has typed the ABC class series of tapes on the Gospels by Richard Thompson.

The women who type these transcripts range from a new mother to a few grandmothers, city folks to farm wives, homemakers, working women and retired ladies. All are enthusiastic and love doing the transcripts.

They take turns taking brief breaks, but most of the women faithfully produce transcripts regularly and some who have more time have helped out those who are in a time crunch with health problems or family woes. Several of the women have been at this for more than seven years, with others coming on board in the last two years.
