St Andrew's Church
Live欢迎各位！今天早上能和大家在一起真好。
今天我们要读约翰福音第三章第十六节。
John 3:16 · 和合本
神爱世人，甚至将他的独生子赐给他们，
Some of your people hear every word and understand very little.
The grandmother who came with her family. The international student. The couple who arrived from overseas last year and are still learning English. They come every week, sing along, and then sit through the sermon catching a word here and there.
About 5.7 million Australians speak a language other than English at home, and around 850,000 say they don't speak English well or at all (ABS Census 2021). Most churches can't find or pay an interpreter for every language in the room.
On the day of Pentecost, everyone heard the message in their own language. We think every church should be able to offer that.
Three steps. About ten minutes. No new equipment.

Captions and a spoken voice. Others show captions only for now.
Help from real people, especially on Sunday morning.
Most church tech is run by volunteers. When something isn't working at 9.45am, a help article isn't enough. That's why support is the part of this service we care about most.
A free setup call before your first service
We go through it with your tech person during the week, test the sound, and make sure the QR code works.
Sunday-morning help
Something odd before the service? Email us and a person replies, not a bot.
An Australian team, on Australian time
We know Australian churches, Australian accents, and that Sunday is our busiest day.
Made for the people who run the sound and slides
Bible verses done properly
When the pastor reads Scripture, people see the verse from a published Bible in their language, not a machine translation of it.
Your church's own words
Add your pastor's name, ministry names, suburbs and anything else that should come out right every time.
Captions on the big screen
Add a browser source in ProPresenter or OBS to show live captions on your screens or livestream.
Read or listen
Captions for everyone, and a natural spoken voice for most languages. People use their own earphones.
One QR code for every week
Print it once. When you go live on Sunday, the same code opens the live service.
Transcripts after the service
Download the sermon in every language you used, ready to share or put on your website.

Your sermon stays in Australia
Sermon audio is turned into text, translated and spoken on Microsoft Azure in Sydney (Australia East). Your church's account details are stored in Sydney too. Nothing you say is used to train AI, and we never sell or share it. Read our privacy policy.
Why we built this
Australian churches are some of the most multicultural places in the country. Yet on Sunday, many people sit through a sermon they can only half follow.
Interpreters are wonderful, but few churches can find one for every language, every week. The technology to do this well now exists. We wanted to make it simple enough for any church, run by an Australian team that picks up when you need help.
Questions churches ask us
Do people need to download an app?
No. They point their phone camera at the QR code, a web page opens, and they pick their language. It works on any smartphone, tablet or laptop.
Do we need to buy any equipment?
No. You need a laptop with internet. For the best sound, plug it into your sound desk with a normal audio cable. If you can't, the laptop's own microphone near the speaker works too.
How accurate is the translation?
It is very good, but it is not a human interpreter. It is about a second or two behind the pastor. Bible verses are shown from proper published Bibles in each language, and you can add your own words (pastor names, ministry names, places) so they come out right.
Can people listen instead of reading?
Yes. For most languages a natural voice reads the translation aloud, so people can listen with their own earphones. Samoan, Tongan, Fijian and Dinka show captions only for now.
Where does our sermon audio go?
It is processed in Sydney on Microsoft Azure's Australia East data centre. It is not used to train AI, and it is not sold or shared.
What if something goes wrong on Sunday morning?
Email us and a real person helps. We also offer a free setup call before your first service, so you can test everything during the week.
What happens after the free month?
Nothing is charged automatically. We don't ask for a card to start. If you'd like to keep going, choose a plan (Basic is A$90 a month). If not, it simply stops.
Try it at your church this Sunday.
Set up takes about ten minutes. The first month is free and we'll help you get ready.
