Your Words, Your Slides: Our Verbatim Content Policy

When a pastor spends the week crafting a sermon, every word choice is intentional. The illustration was told a specific way. The application point was phrased to land a certain way. The scripture was quoted from a particular translation for a reason.

Slidr exists to put those words on screen, not to rewrite them. Our verbatim content policy is the most important promise we make to pastors, and it is enforced at every level of our AI pipeline.

The Policy

Body text is always verbatim.Bullets, verse text, quote text, and application points use the pastor's exact words from the manuscript. The AI does not condense, summarize, paraphrase, or “improve” any of it.

If a bullet exceeds the style's word limit, it stays as-is. The format bends to fit the words, not the other way around. If there are too many bullets for the style, the content splits across multiple slides. Nothing gets deleted or merged.

Scripture is never changed. Whatever translation and wording the pastor included in their manuscript is exactly what appears on the slide. The AI does not substitute translations, modernize language, or paraphrase verses.

Quotes are preserved exactly. If the manuscript attributes a quote to someone, that quote and attribution appear on the slide as written.

The One Exception: Slide Titles

Slide titles are the only place where the AI may trim text. A manuscript line like “The third thing I want you to understand is that God is faithful” can become the slide title “God Is Faithful” because filler words do not serve the audience on screen.

Even here, the rules are strict: the meaning cannot change, the key words must be preserved, and only filler words are removed. The AI may also apply title casing per your selected style (Title Case, ALL CAPS, or Sentence case), but the substance stays the same.

Grammar and Spelling: Transparent Corrections

If the AI detects a grammar or spelling error in the manuscript, it will correct it. But unlike other tools that silently “clean up” your writing, Slidr logs every single correction with full transparency:

• The slide number where the correction was made
• Which field was changed (title or body)
• The original text from the manuscript
• The corrected text now on the slide
• The reason for the correction

You see this log after your slides are generated so you can review every change. If you disagree with a correction, you know exactly where to find it and what to revert.

Why This Matters

Most AI writing tools are built to rephrase, summarize, and “enhance.” That is the opposite of what a pastor needs. When you stand in front of your congregation and the slide says something different from what you are about to say, it creates a moment of confusion that breaks the flow of the message.

Slidr is a formatting tool, not an editing tool. We take what you wrote and put it on screen in the clearest, most readable way possible. Your theology, your phrasing, your voice — those stay yours.

That is not a feature. It is a conviction.
