The host speaks on the left. A listener in the back row reads and hears Spanish on the right — a beat behind, right on their phone.

Everything a service needs
Built church-first and ready for conferences, schools, and nonprofits — with honesty about what it does at every step.
Live voice + captions
Listeners hear a natural translated voice and read along at the same time — not one or the other.
No hardware or apps
The studio runs in a browser tab and listeners join from theirs. Nothing to buy, install, or maintain.
Biblical terminology packs
Upload bulletins and sermon notes; approve the names, places, and scripture references — the translation gets them right.
QR-code listeners
Put one code on the screen or in the bulletin. Listeners scan, pick a language, and they are in — seconds, not setup.
Unlimited listeners
Translation cost does not grow with your audience. Fifteen people or fifteen hundred — same room, same price.
Honest language labels
57 of our 75 languages include a translated AI voice. The rest are captions-only — labeled exactly that way, never oversold.
Privacy-first
No recording, no stored transcripts, no listener accounts. Words are translated live and let go.
Desktop studio appbeta
A focused window for your sound booth — same studio, one click away, with OBS caption overlays built in.
Live in three steps
Create a room
Name your service, pick your languages, and plug in any microphone — or feed straight from the sound board.
Press start and speak normally
The translation service warms up in seconds. Preach, teach, or present exactly as you always do.
Listeners scan and choose
They scan the QR code, pick their language, and hear and read along live. No accounts, no apps.
Pricing a church budget understands
Pay only when you speak. Every plan includes unlimited listeners — and silence, songs, and music never count against you.

1 translation hour = 1 hour × languages used. Speaking for 1 hour into 3 languages uses 3 translation hours.
Every translation hour includes both live captions and AI-spoken audio. There is no separate charge for the voice.
Pilot pricing while we grow — early churches keep these rates for 2 years.

A fair comparison, checked against their published pricing in September 2026: Glossa is a good product, and on a big enough plan a cheaper one per hour. We aim to be clearer about what an hour costs, and to keep the translated voice in step with the preacher.
