Welcome to Church Translation! 👋
We’re here to help you break down language barriers and ensure every member of your congregation feels at home. Church Translation leverages advanced AI to provide real-time, multilingual support for your services.
The platform is built on two simple components:
The Admin App: Where the magic happens. This is used by your media team to capture audio and generate real-time translations.
The Mobile App: Where your congregation connects. Members can join the service from their own devices to listen to the sermon in their preferred language.
👨🏫 How It Works
The system follows a simple path from the pulpit to the person in the seat:
Capture: A laptop or mobile device "listens" to the sermon.
Process: Our AI understands your speech and translates it into multiple languages simultaneously.
Deliver: Visitors hear the message in their native tongue on their own devices.
🎯 Key Features at a Glance
We aim to empower your church by removing barriers and simplifying the tech:
Real-Time Translation: With minimum delay, the entire congregation can laugh, pray, and reflect together at the exact same moment.
Dictate Mode (speech-to-text): The most popular option. Our AI "listens" to the preacher live and translates the spoken word on the fly.
Type Mode: If you prefer to manually transcribe the sermon, a staff member or volunteer can type directly into the system to provide the source text for translation.
Prepared Text: Mid-week, you can upload your full sermon script. During the service, simply "trigger" each section to send it to the congregation in their language.
Multiple Language Streams: Support for as many target languages as your community needs.
Crystal-Clear Audio: High-quality speech-to-text technology ensures the nuances and heart of your sermon are preserved.
Keyword Booster: Add up to 100 specific keywords or phrases (biblical names, theological terms, or church-specific jargon) to help the AI recognize them with 100% accuracy.
Livestream Integration: Visitors watching from home can view your livestream alongside live translations in their selected language.
Service Archive: Access a complete archive of all your church services across every language you’ve translated.
Easy Guest Signup: Visitors join effortlessly using Google/Apple Sign-in, a quick Sign-in Code, or by simply scanning a QR code.
Real-Time Insights: See "Who is online" and track in real-time which languages are being used by your multilingual congregation.
Ease of Access: No specialized hardware or rented headsets—just a smartphone and a pair of headphones.
